M47 or MXY do not appear, since we don't know which one it is at the time the poster is made.

Okay, cool. Does the number contain commas? I assume not... For some reason I just feel good about one of the numbers I am testing. Of course, it is probably just wishful thinking.

[QUOTE=xilman;177641]It has often been said that the Pope is Catholic and bears :poop: in the woods.

However, [b]has anyone actually seen[/b] a Pope bearing :poop: in the woods[/QUOTE]

No - and I expect modern-day Holy Fathers don`t get many chances to tramp around the woods much, no matter how urgent their earthly needs. Perhaps while on holiday, however.

I have, however, seen bear :poop: in the woods, though I've never been close enough to 'wholly see' (or hear) a bear 'poping', so can`t say whether it is a noisy process. Some degree of ursine grunting seems plausible, however. I wouldn't expect all those nuts, berries, fish bones and occasional tourist-with-camera to go down without a fight.

No commas - that would bloat the poster size by at least 10% while serving no useful purpose whatsoever - Commas are mainly useful for numbers less than a googol.

(And I see my handy-dandy Firefox spellchecker doesn't like 'googol', and helpfully suggests 'Google' as an alternative.)

Pretty ironic considering "Google" was originally a typo of "googol". :smile:
And regarding commas: I think Primeinator was referring to commas in the "2^43112609-1", not commas in the <13M digits.

I thought God was transcendental ... or is just that (as many argue) believers in his/her/it/them are irrational?

Yep, we are officially and flagrantly off-topic now.

Maybe a supemod could trim things up.

As an atheist, I'd say imaginary.
