714 Signifigance

[Drifter]

Hey, today is 714. Somehow this number has gained near cult following signifigance. What do you know about this number.

Here is what I know

1) The original number on the Qualude.
2) Badge number on the "Dragnet" TV series.
3) House number on the "Rosanne" show.

Do you know of any other references that use this number ?


Cheers

11. Thanks everyone ...

for your participation. I had forgotten about Hank Aarons home run total, even though this number was not actually chosen (rather achieved).

I'm still scratching my head over the Roman Numeral posts. I don't quite understand these (feel free to elaborate). Less of course they are meant to be jokes.

12. Actually it's Babe Ruth's home run total

Babe Ruth hit 714 home runs. Hank Aaron passed him with a total of 755.

14. Mostly Joking

7 = VII

1 = I

4 = IV

put together

VIIIIV which is the same in either direction.

Or '714' = DCCXIV if you want to be serious.
