Has anyone tried calling the phone number used for a z-index in this chart? Seems like a very specific number to be used that many times. It would be amazing if the css was #ForAGoodTimeCall { z-index: 2147483647 }
It's probably not a phone number. It's the max value of a 32 bit signed integer.

#23> 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.

It's a reference to Jenny's Song, by Tommy Tutone. 867-5309 is Jenny's phone number in the song.

Thank 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!

Although the wording is ambiguous he probably (correctly) meant that the number is 1242 9's long: 999999... and not 9^1242 or 1242 x 9
Oh, I did not understand this way, but you are indeed correct. My bad.
This is why I care so much about grammar. Author wrote "1242 times the number 9" but meant "the number 9 1242 times". A very minor difference, just the order of the words, but such a change in meaning!

#29Really disappointed that 9001 did not make the list. :)
