Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
Well today is my birthday. I was born on August 24th in the year 1969. August 24th is not a particularly exciting day. According to Wikipedia, nothing truly exciting has happened on my birthday since I have been born. Although Windows 95 was introduced on 8/24/95 (not sure if that was a truly great or truly bad day for humankind). Just today, the (former) planet Pluto was demoted to a dwarf planet (how insulting). So anyway, I have pretty much had the day all to myself my whole life without any special events happening to steal my thunder.
Today is specifically my 37th birthday. 37 is a Prime Number. I haven't been a prime number since age 31. I have always had a fascination with prime numbers. I have no idea why. I actually have told people that my birthday is a prime number (8241969) and they usually believe me (trust me, it is not as it is easily divisible by 3). There is even a contest where you could win $100,000.00 for discovering the first 10 million digit prime (everyone get out their pencils).
Anyway, nothing exciting happened today (again) and other than 1 card in the mail and 2 phone calls from relatives, it was a normal day. Well I am signing off now, I still have a few hours to find the 10 million digit prime and put 8/24 on the record books!
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
