In popular culture edit
In the 2007 film The Bourne Ultimatum it is revealed that the birth date that Pamela Landey gives to Bourne during a phone conversation, 4/15/71, is not his actual date of birth, and therefore a code. When searching for Bourne, the agents of Operation Blackbriar, which eavesdropped on the call, try to figure out what the code's meaning. One agent discerns that when converted into longitude and latitude coordinates, it indicates a location in Cameroon. Another agent says that 41571 is the ZIP code for Varney, Kentucky. It is eventually determined that the code is an instruction to Bourne directing him to go to 415 East 71st Street in New York City.
