| You know, it's kind of funny to think of someone "discovering" a number...

| Yeah, I guess the appeal is trying to find the biggest prime number ever, but I mean, they should be using pencils and paper if they want to be taken seriously. Anyone can hook a bunch of computers up and have it run day and night to figure out a number. The real geniuses can do it on paper living on nothign but cigarettes and stale coffee for weeks on end until -- voila, the answer is arrived at.

| Yeah - and they don't call themselves GIMPS either. I wonder why they chose that name? Is it because they dress in PVC and lock themselves in a box with a pencil and a torch until they get an answer?
