A number longer than Ulysses?
While perusing today's edition of the Boston Globe, Verbal Jazz discovered that the largest prime number ever has been discovered, and that it would take somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,400 to 1,500 pages to print it, since it runs to about 6.3 Million digits. If only Verbal Jazz had a dollar per digit, but since we did nothing to discover this number, we have no sense of entitlement to earning cash for its discovery. Damn.
