Forty-seven is the fifteenth prime number, a safe prime, the thirteenth supersingular prime, and the sixth Lucas prime. Forty-seven is a highly cototient number. It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part. Its the atomic number of silver and the atomic weight of Titanium.
Fortyseven has been the favourite number of Pomona College, California, USA, since 1964. A mathematical proof, written in 1964 by Professor Donald Bentley, supposedly demonstrates that all numbers are equal to 47. However, Bentley offered it as a 'joke proof' to further a popular student research project that listed real and imaginative '47 sightings'. Bentley used the invalid proof to introduce his students to the concept of mathematical proofs. The proof used limits to show that the sum of the two equal sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the base side. Bentley chose forty-seven as the base side, but he could have used any number.
Joe Menosky graduated from Pomona College in 1979 and went on to become one of the story writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Menosky 'infected' other Star Trek writers with an enthusiasm for the number 47. As a result, 47, its reverse 74, its multiples, or combinations of 47 occur surreptitiously in almost every episode of the program and its spin-offs Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Enterprise. Forty-seven might be mentioned in dialogue or appear on a computer screen, for example:
- In the Voyager episode 'Parallax', we learn that the Emergency Medical Holographic Channel is 47 and that the EMH has the experience of 47 individual medical officers.
- In the 2009 film Star Trek, the Enterprise was built in Sector 47 of the Riverside Shipyards, and 47 Klingon ships are said to have been destroyed by Nero's ship, the Narada.
Washroom Hygiene monitors are all the rage these days. They come in a range of Standard, standard Plus, Professional, Professional Plus and Ultima (which can count down, has customer feed back buttons, option to bleep if poor or fair pressed more than say 5 times within a countdown period, data showing what time buttons were pressed, Delay on buttons pressed). So pretty much all as would be needed from a bog standard clock.

Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', 'This is my message to you-ou-ou:'
Singin': 'Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!'
Singin': 'Don't worry about a thing' - I won't worry!
''Cause every little thing gonna be all right.'
Three cheeky birds, Shakerley Mere near Knutsford Cheshire UK

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4306593793 - 'Brother Paul on his journey from Preston to London via Coventry UK.
Standing by the services Brother Paul almost looks like he is standing by the entrance of a huge glass cathedral.
I am sure more people visit the M6 motorway services than most churches, maybe they really are the cathedrals of the automobile / car age. Instead of 'body of christ' we worship at KFC, the E&
DCo (eat and drink Co) and M&
S Simply food.
Paul is far from the stereotype. A honourable historic tradition working within the modern world.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3838285938 - 'A classic services built from stout 1965's concrete, an iconic landmark on britains first motorway, M6 Preston Bypass.
It used to be Rank, then Granada, was Forton, then Lancaster, then Lancaster (Forton).
The tower is called 'The Pennine Tower', and when it opened it had a restaurant with a panoramic view. However, the tower fell short of the Health and Safety regulations for the number of emergency exits required in a public building, so it had to be closed. It's now only used for staff training and offices.
The tower is unique to the services, but Rank built slightly smaller versions at other services of theirs such as Hilton Park,which has suffered exactly the same fate. Although the one here is the 'daddy' (as they say).
In 2008 the services won a five star loo award, one more than in 2006. Worth sharing that with you, in case you might consider holding on until Knutsford.
Rumours that the cafe used to revolve inside like 'Piz Gloria' in Switzerland where the famous James Bond was filmed'on her Majesty's Secret Service are untrue. (apparently).
