Oh cool!

I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.

Italian commuters are more likely to give up their seat to a pregnant passenger is there's someone dressed as Batman in the rail coach. Delightfully silly boffinry.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
