Has it really been a month? More selected numbers, this time from the latest two sets of Dewey Decimal subject mappings.

• The eyes have it: Peacocks in art – 704.943286258
• Vicar of Dibleyest number: Clergy on television – 791.456827
• 100,00 BC: Prehistoric peoples on television – 791.45658
• “But she hates James Blunt already”: Musical perception in infants – 155.422215
• Don’t go there: Sin City (Imaginary place) – 741.5973
• We’re turning Chinese, I really think so: Sinicization – 303.48251
• The fraud that got away was this big: Phishing – 005.8
• Beam me up, Scotty: Quantum teleportation – 530.12
• Fairly long number: Sephardim in literature – 809.933529924046
• Very long number: Quetzalcoatl in literature – 808.80382997845202113

These large numbers are, however, dwarfed by this monstrosity from the Canadian subject mapping for works about a four-and-a-half month strike at the Versatile tractor plant in Winnipeg:

Buhler Versatile Inc. Strike, Winnipeg, Man., 2000-2001 – 331.892829225209712743090511

Wow. It’s certainly the longest I’ve ever seen. And they say size isn’t everything.

I see they’ve picked this one out at Dewey Towers too.
