July 30th, 2007

Seems that everyone is getting on the 756 bandwagon. Check out these shameless "coincidences."

• The Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh will come with exactly 756 redefined icons!
• The USS Scranton -- a Los Angeles-class submarine and the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Scranton, Pennsylvania -- was designated SSN-756!
• In Queensland, Australia, TRANSLink Route 25 (from Pacific Fair all the way to Burleigh Heads) has been renumbered TRANSLink Route 756!
• The Grand Lodge of Tennessee Free and Accepted Masons group which meets the first Monday of each month in Oak Ridge, Tennessee is Faith Lodge #756!
• Not to be outdone, the Order of the Eastern Star group which meets on the second and FOURTH Tuesday of each month in Ft. Worth, Texas is Wedgwood Chapter #756! Take that, fellas!
• The best-selling New Balance walking shoe for women is named the WW-756!

And in a final irony:

• California Senate Bill SB 756 deals with criminal investigations and eyewitness identifications!

Truth is stranger than fiction.
