No document in American history has been so thoroughly scrutinized as the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson, its author, wrote 1,817 words; Congress made 68 changes, killing 480 words and leaving the final version at 1,337 words.
Declaration of Independece --> 1337 words
What could be 1337 than that?

Declaration* We should steal it, I mean, they did steal it in the movie "National Treasure" so how hard could it be? 
And also, in 1337 A.D., or some say 1336, the Hundred year war between Britian and France began.

Not only that, but Mana Musa (a king of Mali)'s reign ended in 1337 AD.

You don't have to. Find an electronic copy, click Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, open a word document and click Ctrl+V, and then go under tools to word count.

I believe it was 1337 words before the signatures, but all electronic copies have the signatures.

I tried to make a program to parse the Beale ciphers and I discovered there's isn't a consistent "official" copy of the Declaration easily found online...
