Re: Counting
The Flodden 1513 Ecomuseum is one of the only ecomuseums in the UK; quite possibly the only one (I couldn't find any others, but I didn't look very hard). At that point, I had to look up what an Ecomuseum is.
I'm not very happy that I missed out on E1510, that would have been a good one (a nice familiar compound, look it up).

1514 Oliver Avenue (Basement) is an album of previously unreleased recordings by the Minneapolis 11-piece Mind & Matter. Appropriately for this game, the name of the record label is Numero Group.

Yes, 'Numeros' are what this thread is all about!

I make no apologies for coming back to my favourite topic of alcohol (or E1510, as I believe it's also known). This time we're going on a trip to Vienna to sample the wares of the 1516 Brewing Company. I quite fancy the Grapefruit Summer WIT - a Belgian-style wheat beer with the addition of grapefruit.

My secondary education took place at Hutton Grammar School, near Preston. It was endowed in 1517.

In Strasbourg, in July 1518, around 400 people started dancing non-stop for several days. The event, staggered, lasted around a month. This was called the Dancing Plague of 1518.

But if you want to dance in the 21st century, and you happen to live in Nashville, why not visit the Play Dance Bar? You can find it at 1519 Church St.

I'm finding it hard to keep up with the 21st century. Until a few minutes ago I had no idea what a "phablet" was, but apparently Nokia's first entry into the market is the Nokia Lumia 1520.

More alcohol!
1522 the Pub is a pub in Bangalore, India:
"1522 was born with an idea to get back the old pub culture of Bangalore. With a heavy hangover of classic rock, it's the neighbourhood pub with an old world charm."
Do you suppose the graphics on their site are deliberately designed to give a slightly drunken feeling?

Re: Counting
Quite possibly!
You do learn all sorts of interesting stuff in this game. I've known the term "Fallopian tubes" (the channels from the ovaries to the uterus) ever since I was at school but I never knew that they were named after Gabriello Fallopio, a highly influential Italian physician born in 1523. One of his works includes the first reference to the wearing of condom-like devices to protect against syphilis.

Interesting! And in another very spurious link to the previous post, the obvious connection is 'tubes' (as this is the Tube Forum). Amongst the many tube stations is Lancaster Gate. Maybe named after the beautiful city in Lancashire, which has an STD code ending 1524.

It seems the last of the E numbers is E1525, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, a thickening agent, but it's not allowed in food under EU legislation any more.

"Can't Get Passed Monster Busters Stages Level 1526?" That spelling mistake is pretty much unforgivable. It would probably attract the interest of "Lmbo" on Pinterest, who has 1527 Pins and 17 followers - scroll down for "The 20 Most Unforgivable Twitter Spelling Mistakes of the Year".
