In post 32, ConManMick wrote:I'd like to dedicate that pagetop to my father, who is fond of the number 47. It's his go to number when he's complaining about things. For examples:

"I've still got to cut the grass, wash the floors, varnish the mantle piece and 47 other fucking things!"

"How many are there?" "I don't know, 40 fucking 7"

Here's looking at you, dad
Though not a Fibonacci number, 47 is a prime number, a Lucas number, and a Keith number.

There are some who use it repetitively in their film and television works, such as J.J. Abrams, in Star Wars, Star Trek, Alias, Fringe, etc.

There is even a whole society dedicated to it: http://www.47.net/47society

Or.... he might just like the game Hitman. The agent in it is named Agent 47.
Who knows? Maybe he kills people in his spare time, by flying in with a CH-47 Chinook and shooting them with his AK-47 rifle.
Then again, who are we to judge, though? We hang people by the neck until dead around here, just for being mafia and such.

But I digress.

You can find all sorts of interesting facts about the number at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47_(number)
