The 117 thing is my favorite bitchnaggy method of peeing all over the CMS (Cormac McCarthy Society). The number 117 has cropped up in various contexts in at least two of his novels (I can only think of two off the top of my head---The Road and No Country For Old Men) and is the topic of endless debate. It makes for excellent pissage because in his interview with Oprah she asked him about it and he said it didn't mean anything, which of course incited debate at the CMS as to whether or not he meant anything by confessing it didn't mean anything. The abolute nadir of lunacy. So, yeah. That's the story behind the number 117.

And I was unaware that the number 117 had a significance?
