Numbers. I love Numbers.
Check-out the conversion from date, to binary number, to base 10 number. Amazing Jan 1, 2011 comes out 23! How about that Jim Carrey!
Nice series........

Where doesn the 21 gun salute owe its orgin?
It is the sum of 1776 added together.

It's been said that 21 guns are fired because the digits in 1776 add up to 21 (1+7+7+6=21). Kinda neat, but it is just an urban legend. The real story behind the honor is a bit more complicated.
