OK.
If you've heard of LPs, you must hear "Forever Changes" (Love).

It maybe something of an acquired taste, but has been improving
with age since 1967 and has remained permanently in the top 10
favourite recordings of all time.

Did you ever wonder just why NYC is the big apple?

Do you know why our favorite team is the Yankees?

And what does that have to do with Mersennes, anyway?

And can you phrase those answers in the forum of a question?

Np, it wasn't 4-rhetorical purposes.

Four questions, four answers, one post.

If you answer all four, you may find it's true
that a new M.prime is overdue.

Do you think the Moon will ever spontaneously turn into pure gold?
> Do you know why our favorite team is the Yankees?
Does the definition of "our" include all residents of NYC?
> And what does that have to do with Mersennes, anyway?
Am I right in thinking the corrct answer is 'nothing.'?
> And can you phrase those answers in the forum of a question?
Didn't I just do that?

Wow! Full credit! If yours aren't rhetorical, I'll try to answer them.
But mine weren't rhetorical.

I guess I'll have to answer your rhetorical questions in order to
explain my points.

(1) Not literally, yes figuratively. For the future of space-flight.

(2) No, some fans root for the mets.

(3) No, see my thread Mersenne Milestones.

(4) Yes you did! You win Double Jeopardy! Into Final Jeopardy.

(5) This is a how question, not a yes/no one, so it'll keep.

I want someone here to recognize that Yanks and Brits are allies.

Allies in what respect? In the War of Terror perhaps?
