    215 is often used as slang for marijuana, from California Proposition 215, legalizing it for medical use.

    The Dornier Do 217 was a bomber used by the German Luftwaffe during World War II as a more powerful version of the Dornier Do 17, known as the Fliegender Bleistift (German: "flying pencil"). Designed in 1937 and 1938 as a heavy bomber but not meant to be capable of the longer-range missions envisioned for the June 3, 1936-dated Bomber A contract winning Heinkel He 177, the Do 217's design was refined during 1939 and production began in late 1940. It entered service in early 1941 and by the beginning of 1942 was available in significant numbers.

    219 There are 219 different space groups, discrete and full-dimensional sets of symmetries of three-dimensional space or of crystal structures.


    I dare anyone to tell me they have even the slightest inkling what that means <whistle>

    220 means "Second To None". 220 is normally used among teens in casual online communication. 220, which means "Second To None", is not known to be used in professional gatherings.

    Year 224 (CCXXIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Iulianus and Crispinus (or, less frequently, year 977 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 224 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.
