Belphegor's prime number
Belphegor's prime number is a palindromic prime number with a 666 hiding between 13 zeros and a 1 on either side. The ominous number can be abbreviated as 1 0(13) 666 0(13) 1, where the (13) denotes the number of zeros between the 1 and 666.
Although he didn't "discover" the number, scientist and author Cliff Pickover made the sinister-feeling number famous when he named it after Belphegor (or Beelphegor), one of the seven demon princes of hell.
The number apparently even has its own devilish symbol, which looks like an upside-down symbol for pi. According to Pickover's website, the symbol is derived from a glyph in the mysterious Voynich manuscript, an early 15th-century compilation of illustrations and text that no one seems to understand.

In demonology, Belphegor (or Beelphegor) is a demon.
The creature is one of the seven princes of Hell
and helps people make discoveries.
In John Milton's Paradise Lost,
Belphegor is one of the "Principalities of the Prime."
In hell, Belphegor is the demon of inventiveness.

Another cool number is 282589933-1. That is a Mersene prime, that can also be written as M82589933. It is a prime number that is 24,862,048 decimal digits long. By comparison, the Bible is approximately 5 characters, so this number is almost 5 times longer than the Bible.

Its almost divisible by 3%. Is that like being close enough for government work? I hear the Democrats are contemplating passing a law making Pi equal to 3 and repealing the Law of Gravity and Boyles Law.

My favorite is Chi square.
A chi square (χ2) statistic is a test that measures how expectations compare to actual observed data (or model results).

I really get a kick out of your posts sometimes :)
It’s like people who using Bible counting, using every 5th letter or whatever. As if the Bible is remotely close to the original number of characters in the language it was written in.
They tested it with Moby Dick and got the same results.
Yes I believe in God. Does he send as tantalizing clues? Probably.
But if the universe isn’t clue enough, not much else is gonna make you believe...

Nice face on Belphegor’s butt. That would attract certain types.
