72 '72, the year "pong" was released, and the event that inspired U2's "Sunday bloody Sunday" song took place (I have a lot of Irish heritage).

73. Because I noticed other people were doing multiple responses in a row in this thread, I figured it would be okay if I did too. 73 is an interesting number. It's the 21st prime number, and its mirror 37 is the 12th prime number. 12 and 21 are also mirrors. Curious, yes? Its fairly unique for this alone, that its mirror happens to be a prime mirror as well. Further, 21 (its he 21st prime, remember) is 7 multipled by 3. 73 in binary is 1001001, which is a palindrome. If you didn't notice from previous posts, I like palindromes. Like my recent answer in another thread... Radar.
