Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay

People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
and always take me there
The place I love

People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away

So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay

So ferry 'cross the Mersey
'cause this land's the place I love
and here I'll stay
and here I'll stay
Here I'll stay

MM₇ is actually a "quadruple Mersenne", as it is-

Thus, I predict that MM_MM7 will also be a Mersenne...

"A break from Politics...."
So you want to break my head. LOL. How about some prime rib.

Thanks for the ping but, I'm gonna go with the filet mignon too.

Thanks for the ping.

Prime Numbers (another interesting page)

-- Adding up digits of prime numbers for no reason (a numerological approach to non-understanding):

2=2
3=3
5=5
7=7
11=2
13=4
17=8
19=10=1
23=5
29=11=2
31=4
37=10=1
41=5
43=7
47=11=2
53=8
57=12=3

I predict that MMMM7 will also be a Mersenne...

Mikrofon's Last Theorem. Or is the "The Mikrofon Hypothesis"?

Thanks. I was using "Tooke, Tooke, Tookie, good bye; Tooke, Tooke, Tookie, don't cry" the day before he shuffled off this mortal coil, it occured to me to change it on the day. Some guy on the Howie Carr show did an hilarous parody of the Jolson standard along these lines, accompanying himself on banjo the afternoon of the day he died, don't know if he was inspired by me or not. It is rather obvious.

My fav is still the one below.

[mikrofon]

Not in the vein of "Custer's Last Stand", I trust...

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

No, in the vein of "Fermatt's Last Theorem"

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Or the Riemann Hypothesis.

Thanks for the ping!

:'D Sounds like a case of art imitating FReep.
