Try to stay under 1000. If you say pi (3.14159265...), I will hurt you.
I prefer 11 because...well I'm not really sure.
4orty 2wo

pi is sacriligeous. Pie is the only way to spell that scared sound.
God...this is difficult to say...I know I already have a favorite number: 11. But my favorite ONE-digit...
I'd say 7. 7 just seems to go well with everything.

Out of the one digit numbers, probably six.
Six hundred always seems to come to mind with so many things.
Pi is nice too... But don't eat two pi, or else it'll turn around and come straight back out.
(I'm talking about angles in radians here, look it up)
Root pi is also good. Them roots make fiiiiine eatin'.
Nah, the exponential function e^x.
I figured you meant e^1, 2.6something, right?

It's a number which has some odd qualities when used in calculus, in that you can integrate or differentiate it without changing it. Hence the corny mathematician joke:
x^2 and e^x were at a party. x^2 was the life and sole of the party, telling jokes, making friends, and buying drinks. Meanwhile e^x sat huddled in a corner. x^2 saw this and approached his friend, saying "come on mate, try to integrate." But it didn't make any difference...
I never said it was a particuarly funny joke. :D

I like the number 7. Maybe because of it being considered as a lucky number. I moved to my new town at 7, live at the house nuber 7, and have lived there for what will be 7 years next year. I have a lot of sevens in my life.

If, for no other reason, because Jim Carey is a creepy fuck! (http://www.number23movie.com/)
5 is far superior.
Fair enough. But the Law of fives flows into twenty three, in that two+three equals five and therefore five is both odd and even.
Fergi America;12123952']23's my fave, but I started liking that because it was the number of the bus that I rode home from grade school.
But now I'm curious about this Illumanitus! Trilogy...
combine a steamy novel with philosphy with conspiracy theories with magic, and you have the Illumanitus! Trilogy.

Eight, because I was born in '88 and my favourite age was 8. Plus I like evenly balanced numbers; it's even, and the way the number is written is centrally symmetrical. Plus, on a digital clock, if you turn on all the lines of a number you'll get 8; observe

Yesh, there are only 10 kinds of people in the world ;)
When I first read that one a few weeks ago I was chuckling for quite a time. Though not as much as 'why viruses are rare on linux'. I was in hysterics. None of my frieds came close to finding it funny. Shame, it was good.

Erm, 436. I don't know why, it just is. I don't argue with it, and neither should you.
Favourite single digit number is, erm...not got a clue. Though I can rule out 0, 2, 5, 6 and 8. They're just not right.

It's a number which has some odd qualities when used in calculus, in that you can integrate or differentiate it without changing it. Hence the corny mathematician joke:
x^2 and e^x were at a party. x^2 was the life and sole of the party, telling jokes, making friends, and buying drinks. Meanwhile e^x sat huddled in a corner. x^2 saw this and approached his friend, saying "come on mate, try to integrate." But it didn't make any difference...
I never said it was a particuarly funny joke. :D
I love all maths jokes, and that one is nearly my new favourite.
Still prefer my Hallowe'en/Christmas one, though.

126 because
1. It's my birthday.
2. One out of 126 people have autism.
3. It's the band room at my school.
