obviously not. Other than 2, all following even numbers aren't prime
But 252515143 is prime

Aw heck
![Exclamation :!:](./images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif)
i missed being prime by one number.
B=2
e=5
y=25
o=15
n=14
d=4
However, if i change to ::Beyonc::,
then i would be prime.

Oh, that was cute, Beyond! And your name doesn't have to be prime when you are!

I've been tickled to :content:ment by the feathery words of an owl in her prime.

You have 24 odds and ends on a table.
If 23 of them fell off, what would you have left?

I do like those primes!
(I'm not proud of them, though.

Oh, that's really interesting; thanks. Since they are such huge numbers, I think I'm safe; too many digits for the tingling sensation!

It is a source of constant disappointment to me that the legal profession has no issue with making certain numbers illegal, or patenting genes, or patenting mathematical algorithms, etc, etc, etc.
We are a flawed species.

We are a flawed species.
And lawyers especially so.

Some of my best friends are lawyers. I reckon that makes me flawed too.
The alternative is perfection, which also has its down side.

There is only one state of perfection, but an entire spectrum of flawed. I guess we need to look at where people lie along that spectrum.

What are the chances that two of the three main statistics on the Asterisk home page (Total posts, total topics, total members) are prime numbers at any given time? As has happened in the past, tonight I noticed that two of them were prime (Total posts 132721 • Total topics 12577); it's inevitable that this circumstance should occur, but how often?
