> At rank 39, we have 8675309, which I personally didn’t recognize as being particularly noteworthy. However, with over half a million collected uses, it clearly is meaningful to many.
Is this value there due to some stock value in some well used piece of software such as a cookie notice plugin for Wordpress?
I had not realised this was a '42' grade special number before and I wonder how it is so popular in CSS.

- Theodores 7y agoThank you. So it is Pinterest and their CSS that ends up on every website. I bet nobody else is using that special number and that the song is not as well known as some would have you believe!
- skykooler 7y agoIt's a reference to Jenny's Song, by Tommy Tutone. 867-5309 is Jenny's phone number in the song.
