Anyways, as for 237, it pwns all. lol Among being the coolest number in many of our lives on the team there are SOOOO many pop culture references to the number 237.

From wikipedia:

Two hundred thirty-seven 237 = 3·79
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the hotel room number of the dead woman in The Shining.
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the number of Red's cell in The Shawshank Redemption.
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the amount of money the four kids collected in Stand By Me.
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the decimal value of Ed.
Two hundred thirty-seven - 237 is the name of a song by the band Fear Before The March Of Flames.
Two hundred thirty-seven - AFX 237 V7 is the name of a song by the Aphex Twin.

Along with some other things I have picked up on along the way (most of which reference back to the movie The Shining in some way or another.

The Blue man group's Rock Concert Movement 237 is: Taking the audience on a Jungian journey into the collective unconscious, using the shadow as a metaphor for the primal self that gets repressed by the modern persona and also by using an underground setting and labyrinth office design to represent both the depths of the pysche and the dungeon-like isolation of our increasingly mechanistic society which prevents people from finding satisfying work or meaningful connections with others.

There is a band who just played their last concert on 2/3/07 in NYC Called Room 237. Hard Rock/Metal music.

You can find the number 237 anywhere.
