Looks to me like a dead squirrel with army men figures next to it, meant to look like some army people killed an enormous squirrel.

Digital Cameras and Primes...
 
A camera company called RED today announced a new line of highly configurable cameras called Scarlet and EPIC. One of their advertising pictures has the following quote:

"You'll find a new prime number before you get through all the possible configurations"

:smile:

A new prime number? That's easy. Here's one, guaranteed fresh:
8544523027488141770014015931478037653477806620818132023613017

Took only a few seconds :)

Their configuration must be pretty easy.

A fascinating link on the same page.

the date of this one is more current and the one by 99.94 isn't very much older than his post date although the information should appear in a journal elsewhere.
