101 Questions About Reproduction

so, chapters in books are usually given the cardinal numbers 1,2,3, etc, but this other book I'm reading, a novel about a retard trying to solve the murder of a dog, the chapters have prime numbers 2,3,5,7,11, etc. he likes prime numbers. I like prime numbers too!

working out what prime numbers are is a complicated task. first you have to write down all the positive whole numbers in the world. like so.


then you take away all the numbers that are mulitples of 2. then 3. then 4 and 5 and 6 and so on. the numbers left are the prime numbers! while this rule for working out prime numbers is really simple, no one has ever worked out a simple formula for telling you whether a very big number is a prime number or what the next one will be. if a number is really really big, it can take a computer yeras to work out whether it is a prime number.

prime numbers are therefore useful for writing codes and in the u.s. they are classed as MILITARY MATERIAL and if you find one over 100 digits long you have to tell the CIA and they buy it off you for like $10,000. but that's not a good way to make a living, but neither is working at a bakery. prime numbers are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them*.

hey remember last fall when everyone said we were gonna die because of the supercollider? well they are doing it again, later this year, so get your affairs in order. say your goodbyes. we're all gonna get sucked into the universe swallowing black hole.
