Anecdote…
In the 1980s and early 90s, Brian would often have lunch at Le Stromboli in Cannes, opposite the Palais des Festivals, famous for housing the Cannes Film Festival. His favourite dish: veau à la crème, was veal in a mushroom and cream sauce. The square root of 6400 (which can be seen at the bottom of this illustration) was the square root of the price he paid for this dish. (80 FF at the time = 12 euros)

His other favourite dish, soupe à l’oignon, unsurpassed by that served at the Hotel Duran in Figueras, Spain, was onion soup. Remove the onions and you get H2O!
