Running Numbers

1,329 Number of barrels of oil transported from Philadelphia to London during the first-ever U.S. petroleum export to Europe. The crew had to be shanghaied before the departure on Nov. 19, 1861, because back then, for whatever reason, filling a giant boat with oil was considered dangerous.

33 Number of points you'd get if you played "SWIERCZYNSKI" in Scrabble, not including bonuses. Call Matt Hopkins at 215-878-7189 if you want to ante up the $40 entry fee to get in on the National Scrabble Association-sanctioned tournament, Nov. 20, at noon at the Stucco building on 42nd and Locust streets.

32 Number of "NFL front offices [that] have the potential to give Terrell a pretty raw deal in the future," according to a quote by T.O.'s agent Drew Rosenhaus in the Sept. 21 Onion article with the headline "Terrell Owens Pre-Emptively Disparages Next Contract."

12.5 Minutes-per-mile rate you must maintain to participate in the Philadelphia Marathon, Nov. 20.

1 Number of references to a Locust Street publishing company dropped on last week's episode of Gilmore Girls. Hey National Publishing Co., we see you blushing over there at 24th and Locust.
