2006 in Numbers

1. 32,934
The number of people who completed the London marathon. 22,849 were male, 10,075 were female, we don't not know how many wore stupid costumes but no doubt it was ridiculously high - what else would you wear to run a marathon on a hot summers day?

2. 53,000,000
The amount of pounds stolen in the Securitas robbery in February. 11 people have been arrested over the robbery and are due in court in April.

3. 27,000
The amount, in kilos, of strawberries eaten during the Wimbledon tennis championships. Not to be too healthy they were washed down with 7,000 litres of cream!

4. 288
The speed, in miles per hour, that Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond was traveling when he crash a jet powered car on Elvington airstrip.

5. 1
The breathtaking amount of medals won by Britain in the Turin Winter Olympics! Incidentally, as I'm sure you're all aware it was silver for the women's skeleton.

6. 18
The length, in feet, of the lost whale who swam up the Thames in January.

7. 1.65
The amount, in billions of US dollars, that Google paid for YouTube. YouTube claims clips on its site are viewed 100 million times every day.

8. 4
The number of months Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock were married before she filed for divorce in November. It was a surprise as they had already had 3 wedding celebrations in that time!

9. 3
The number of world records smashed by X-Factor winner Leona Lewis. She has beaten records for fastest selling download, best-selling download over a week and and finally, fastest selling female artist of all time.
