It wasn't a number. It was a mix of the symbols for male and female mixed with the alchemy symbol for soapstone.



Basically it was all mixed up in what appears to be a gender confused way.

More Condoms were used during the D-Day Invasion of Normandy than any other day in history. They were used to keep the gun barrels dry incase it got wet from the seawater.

The number of teenagers killed each day in the US from traffic accidents is greater than 100

Most are related to lack of experience. 

That number is almost equally to a Boeing 737, if one of those went down every day don't you think we would do something about it?
