I didn't learn about this in math class, but it is still neat. The picture will make more sense when you click the link. If you are a big fan of prime numbers then you will like it even more.

that is awesome

I'd like to have this pattern burned onto the inside of my eyelids or something equally obscure maybe

you know, just to keep a record of it on me all the time in a really inaccessible way

Elaine: Hmm...
Jake: What?
Elaine: Oh it's nothing.
Jake: What is it?
Elaine: It's nothing.
Jake: Tell me.
Elaine: Well, I was just curious why you didn't use an exclamation point?
Jake: What are you talking about?
Elaine: See, right here you wrote "that is awesome", but you didn't use an exclamation point.
Jake: So?
Elaine: So, it's nothing. Forget it, forget it, I just find it curious.
Jake: What's so curious about it?
Elaine: Well, I mean if one of your close friends posted something awesome and I left a comment about it, I would use an exclamation point.
Jake: Well, maybe I don't use my exclamation points as haphazardly as you do.
Elaine: You don't think that someone posting something awesome warrants an exclamation point?
Jake: Hey, I just commented on the post. I didn't know I was required to capture the mood of each poster.
Elaine: I just thought you would be a little more excited about a friend of mine posting something awesome.
Jake: Ok, I'm excited. I just don't happen to like exclamation points.
Elaine: Well, you know Jake, you should learn to use them. Like the way I'm talking right now, I would put an exclamation points at the end of all these sentences! On this one! And on that one!
Jake: Well, you can put one on this one: I'm leaving!

Interesting yet deliciously obscure.
