I randomly wrote this list of things I like. Feel free to keep it and cherish it, it is available under a GPL license.

C5 The Sinclair C5 was a battery electric vehicle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985.
63 Although a number of the form 2n – 1, 63 is not a Mersenne prime since n is not prime and 63 is certainly not prime either.

88 is used as code among white supremacists to identify each other. I sense a conspiracy

Found through digg.com. I really enjoyed reading this list of numbers that mean something you you, with absolutely no hidden significance whatsoever.
Here’s a fascinating fact you probably haven’t realised: all those numbers are hex numbers!

I dugg all those HD-DVD articles, and posted comments to many. Some of those comments included links to other Digg submissions on the same subject. I did not make any submissions of my own, neither did I post the “offending” encryption key. One post suggested that, as protest, everyone should bury everything. I suggested a couple of times that Digg was operating out of fear, and not out of legal requirement, based on the fact that Reddit still has the key up, and Wired published an article on Feb 13, 2007, with the key, and that is still up. I used no foul language at any time.

Oh wait, I think I posted this in the wrong place. This article has nothing to do with HD-DVD. Sorry.

Erm, your last one is a bit off, CO is carbon monoxide… C-zero is not.
