A number that inspired creativity

You might have heard that the AACS is sending Cease and Desist letters to websites who link to a forum thread at the Doom9 forum which has information about the processing key for HD-DVD movies. Instead of focusing on the free speech issues that arise in this matter I would like to point out to something interesting. This number made many users creative and I decided to publish all the interesting creative works that point to that number.

I don’t want to talk about the obvious ones here which are: registered domain names, t-shirts, mugs and other merchandise with the number or e-mail addresses with it. I link to several images at the end which are worth a look as well.
