The number 1,000 has a nice ring to it. There's the Mille Miglia race, referring to the 1,000 Roman miles from Brescia to Rome and back. There's the list of 1,000 Things to Do Before You Die. Note, too, that the positive descriptor "grand" also refers to the number 1,000. And we all know how a picture is worth a thousand words.
