  Whores! we want "poems that kill."
  Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
  guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
  and take their weapons leaving them dead

  I literally forgot it was a thing until I needed it for a form a few days ago

  I don't have a driver's licence.
  
  I do have an ID card, which has a number, but I have never in my life had any reason to actually know that number.

  Let me tell you. About Fallen London.

  My driver's license number is really short and simple because it's Oregon and I still don't know what it is without looking. There just aren't a lot of times I've had to use it.

  It's not my social security number.
  
  It's God's social security number.

  I mean, like, for what it's worth there are jokes on here I don't always get at first glance either. Just kinda happens.

  Sorry about that.
  
  The speed of light (specifically speed of light in vacuum) is a constant quantity and a very important number in physics.
  
  In 1983, the speed of light was used to define and standardize the length of the meter.  Thus, the speed of light is defined to be exactly 299,792,458 meters per second.
  
  The fact that it's a nine-digit number resulted in observations that it looks vaguely like a social security number, when written without the commas.  This gave rise to the joke that 299-79-2458 is "God's Social Security Number".

  I'm sorry. I honestly thought Lee's post and the number itself would be enough to Google it if you were curious.

  you're cool, man

  
  

  also, in the introductory physics classes i've taken, we just approximate it as 3 * 10^8

  My driver's license has a magnetic stripe on it.

  
  

  What is that even for?

  I know like, half of my CA ID number, which is the same as my Driver's Permit # was. You'd think I'd know an alphanumeric assigned to me in '05 but you'd be wrong.

  
  

  I do have my social memorized though.

  My driver's license number includes the area code of a place where I used to live as well as the area code of a place where one of my relatives lives.

  I have cut a caper with the dancing mad god

  It sort of bothers me that WA's drivers licence "numbers" are primarily composed of letters. 

  
  

  It's not a number (and it IS denoted with a pound symbol, which would indicate a number! I'd accept it were it simply an ID) if only 3 of the 12 characters are, in fact, numbers!
