500 has 12 factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, 125, 250, 500

I am doing my laundry and also working on an "And Counting" and also thinking I really need to get around to cleaning up my fucking apartment. I can see three big steps involved in this:

1. finish unpacking everything and get rid of the remaining packing material
2. organize stuff into piles
3. identify and purchase appropriate furniture for organizing the items

It would be nice if this apartment had more closet space though.

I guess I need to come up with a question. How about: What is your favorite prime number? Mine is either 2 or 5. Maybe 67. I dunno.

More snow today.

2007 divides evenly by 3. Or were you going with 07?

I like 37 pretty well. 11 is also neat. 7 is a classic. 3 has sacred powers and stuff, right? 17 is tight.

Not a big fan of 29.

41 is kind of a rogue. I can take it or leave it. Today, I'll take it.

I have a lot of feelings about the rest of the first batch, but nobody cares.

Although, I will say that 101 should get some kind of prize for being a prime palindrome.

For me it's a tie between 2003663613 * 2^195000 + 1 and 2003663613 * 2^195000 - 1.

Also, sexy primes.

QOTD: 2 because it's the only even prime number.

I've always been partial to 41. Maybe just because it seems like it ought to be divisible by 7 or 3 or something, but it's not.
