The only time I've ever seen that number is in the line limitation of excel files.

To see for yourself, open up any excel document and hit CTRL + the down key, it takes you all the way down to the bottom.  I never knew there was a bottom to an excel sheet.

I've seen the bottom many times, just never memorized the number.

I think the last column is like IA or something...

1 -  it's a Fermat number .. which is (65537 (a Fermat prime) -1) according to the formula: 2^(2^n) n being 4 in this case so 65536 is 2^(2^4) or 2^(16)
2 - amount of bytes commonly referred to as 64 megs
3 - a zip code in lebanon, MO .. (near springfield)
