Hmm...  I just noticed that this is the speed of the electron in the first
Bohr orbit--i.e., the speed of light divided by the fine structure
constant.

      do                do
   do    do          do    do
do                do            ...

It reminds me that one year approx. = pi x 10^7.  It would be exact if the 
Earth's orbit was not slightly elliptical.   Moving right along...
