444
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Today is Shakespeare’s 444th birthday.
This means that if Shakespeare were alive today, he would be the world’s oldest human. In fact, he would be the oldest human who ever lived.
The number 444 makes me think of the Iran Hostage Crisis. The hostages were held for 444 days.
444 is a Harshad number. It is also a palindrome.
The year 444 AD was precisely 1564 years ago. What year was Shakespeare born? 1564. Believe it or not!
