Why 314???
Heres my theory:
As you all know keens IQ is 314, 3 + 1 + 4 = 8 = keens age
below is all the possible combinatins of numbers (below 800) that add up to 8 and reasons why i think the don't fit except for 314:
**********
Way too small
**********
08
17
26
35
44
53
62
71
80
**********
Still a bit too small
**********
107
116
125
134
143
152
161
170
**********
Makes keen look as if he cheated on his IQ test
**********
206
215
224
233
242
251
260
**********
305 - looks like a smilie (even though it wasn't until many years later than they were used)
314 - Perfect
323 - Double numbers don't look as good
332 - Double numbers don't look as good
341 - just isn't 314
350 - 0's numbers don't look as good
**********
Too high
**********
404
413
422
431
440
503
512
521
530
602
611
620
701
710
800
**********
Not only that i've always imagined Mortimer McMIre to be taller than keen, and maybe slightly older perhaps 9 (3 + 1 + 5), which would still make it possible for them both to be in the same class at school.
Think about that...

Re: Why 314???
Can be! I think it's that 3 + 1 + 4 = 8 thing..
Hey, I know! What if it the combination of the ages of Keen makers when they made Keen 1?
3 years + 1 years + 4 years!

about Mortimer...
what i've always wondered... Mort's got more than one advantage over Keen. apparently he's a bit big on the physical end of things, too, to be able to give Keen a swirly or two. just how much better than Keen *IS* he? :-)

Eh, swirly? That was just something made up in a fan fiction right?
Maybe since Keen is Tom, Mort is a bully Tom knew.

Nope!

What's a "Swirly"? Is it painful? It sounds yummy.

Re: Now Flush the toilet
When some stuffs your head in a toilet, holds it there and flushes the toilet.
I doubt it would be very yummy, but then again I've never experienced it myself so I wouldn't know.

Re: Now Flush the toilet
I didn't know the meaning of that word.
But now when I know it, wow, seems that MM was bullying Keen quite seriously.. 
By the way, it sounds like ice cream to me too!

Swirly
Swirlies...
Sounds like one of those "gullibility tests" when you say to somebody "would you like a CHOCOLATE CRUNCHY MUNCH?" And they say "ooh yes please" And then you give them one, and they find out that a CHOCOLATE CRUNCHY MUNCH is actually having their groin splashed with concentrated sulphuric acid, then stampeded over by rabid ferrets with leaky salt shakers strapped to their backs, while the London Philharmonic Orchestra plays "Hit Me Baby One More time" and other Britney Spears classics, really loud.
Ah, do you remember the days of the old school yard...

Re: Now Flush the toilet
I've never had a swirly myself, but when one of my friend's went to a different school, he had pleny of them.
According to him, the worst part of it wasn't getting 'dunked' (unless you've got a feat of being underwater, like me), but having his face make contact with the toilet seat, and kneeling on the floor (apparently he got almost as wet from keeling on the ground as his head once dunked). At least the 'dunkers' had the manners to flush the toilet before putting his head in...

Re: Why 314?
Well, this may sound TOO simple, but if you put a dot between the 3 and the 1 it makes the number 3.14 AKA pi(rounded off).

Re: Why 314?
Yep, welcome.
And yeah, if I remember correct that's already said in this topic.
And that leads in to other question.. Why 315? Is it like 3.14..endless.. = ~3.15 = 315?

heard THIS'n?
Here's a new one I just thought of today:
Take the first letter and the last letter of "Commander Keen". C is the 3rd letter of the alphabet, N is the 14th.
3 and 14.
314.
 QED!

That's clever one TMST. That could be the way they made it, and just added one to make Mortimer's IQ.

TmsT?
I doubt that, KeenRush. My guess is that 314 simply sounds nice because of pi.
Even the local chiropractor's down the road has a massive "314" on top of their sign (because it's their address). There's something nice about 314, and I say it's all because of pi.
Oh yeah, Yowza? Well, YOU have... yowza! Yeah! You have yowza! How'd ya like THEM apples?

Re: TmsT?
My guess is that they were just trying to think of a random number that was high enough but not too high and sounded reasonable.
