No one's ever completely without electricity, though. You can generate a small electric charge by means of the piezoelectric effect - demonstrated by this Primus Piezo Igniter for 2213.

I very much doubt it! It certainly wouldn't be enough for the student accommodation at TwentyTwo15 in Austin, Texas, where "no electricity throughout the apartment" is regarded as an emergency maintenance issue - although you'll be charged a $75 fine if their staff determines that the cause of the electric outage is a disconnect by the City of Austin.

(I've mentioned this before, but US student accommodation seems to be ridiculously luxurious compared with ours.)

Abell 2218 is a cluster of galaxies about 2 billion light-years away in the constellation Draco. It was used as a gravitational lens to discover the most distant known object in the universe as of 2004.

Edited 'Abell 2188' to 'Abell 2218' because I can't type (or possibly count) properly it seems.

Was that a deliberate typo for "2218"?

Speaking of lenses, these Gucci 2219 eyeglasses can be yours for $159.00.

The sum of the digits of the 2222nd Fibonacci number is 2222. It's not known whether there are any higher Fibonacci numbers with this property.

Also, it's four twos! :)

2223 is a Kaprekar number, which means that its square can be split into two parts that sum to the original number:

2223^2 = 4941729
494 + 1729 = 2223

As we get higher in the numbers this Canon WS-2224 calculator may come in handy.

Can an office building, using only heat generated by occupants, their equipment, and lighting—and using only operable panels for cooling—maintain year-round indoor comfort? Apparently so - it's the 2226 Building in Lustenau, Austria. The building’s numerical name refers to 22 to 26 degrees Celsius (72 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit), a widely accepted measure of interior comfort. The architect claims that it's unique.
