No cheating by looking them up on the Internet, only list interesting facts that you can actually remember.

A113 was the number of the room where John Lasseter and Brad Bird, among others, used to do animation stuff at CalArts. It's even made appearances in American Dad!, The Simpsons and Rugrats, among others.

I'm kinda' bending the rules here. But I have to intervene as a huge Pixar fanboy. Sully spotted in the recent Brave proves this. He's carved into something near the bottom right.
