I'm quite sure that this is a very small list.
But, others can add...
5729.58
1320
3960
5250
7920
10,560
43560
3.2808333
20 chains
40 chains
80 chains
66 feet
0.016666666667 multiplier, to multiply times the feet, across the whole 6 mile township. Yields the length of each mile.
13 (puberty)
16 (drivers license)
210'
208.71'
20 days. ("Open" cows will come into heat, about every 20 days.)
62 days, gestation for a dog.
10 chains x 10 chains = 10 ac.
20 chains x 20 chains = 40 ac.
80 chains x 80 chains = 640 ac.
How many pups in in in a usual litter of rat terrier pups? 5
In arkansas, how many cows, can be grazed on 40 acres? Well, it depends... But 10 to 13 cows is about average.

I live in Montgomery County Arkansas. The Co. Seat is Mt. Ida.
For tele calls, the first 3 digits are 867.
So, 870-867-5309 would in fact, be a local number.
I womder if Jenny was from Mt. Ida?
Go Lions!

With the introduction of phone number portability, the concept of a "local number" has gotten a lot less meaningful.

The "secret" of Jenny's number is in fact a linear progression of the numbers on a telephone keypad. All the numbers flow from lower left to upper right. If this design is properly scaled and superimposed over an aerial of Washington D.C., in the correct rotational sequences, it creates the semaphore of an ancient and highly secret society and points to the location of the society's treasures.

Or...it could just be a rambling seven number sequence that sounded rhythmic to some kids banging on guitars in somebody's garage....

I can only imagine why that would be important.

[USER=291]@Nate The Surveyor[/USER] I'll bite. What's significant about 5250?

It's never been something I've used, but my son tells me that it makes solving certain types of integrals much easier. (I no longer understand much of what he says when he speaks of math or physics, but I still enjoy conversing with him.)

Pennsylvania 6-5000

Besides being a swing classic it's still in use as a phone number.
