121 is unquestionably the BEST DDC NUMBER EVER in the history of the world, period. Research carried out over hundreds of years shows that literally billions of DDC users throughout the known universe agree. Personally, I can't tell you how much I adore this most unique of numbers. I think about it 24/7/365 and constantly dream of assigning it to every single one of the thousands of books I read every month. It's the most beautiful, truthful, and virtuous number known to human civilization. Its wisdom is infinite; it's a colossus. I tingle in its palindromic presence. Oh, and we mapped the LC subject heading "Exaggeration (Philosophy)" to it today.
The Dewey Blog ROCKS! I keep telling people that catalogers are all pleasantly nuts, and now I have more proof.
"121" made my day.

Aug 5. If that little superscript o is really meant to represent a degree sign, then according to my records the highest Fahrenheit reading for August is 106. Your thermometer must have been lying in the sun.
