Bu who was the one hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred fifty-sixth commenter?
…said the girl who apparently doesn’t know what “blatherations” means. Sheesh.
123456 = 2⁶ · 3 · 643
Ok, sorry. Good night.
I guess this is a good time to post from my new iPod touch!
Since this seems to be something of an open comment thread, I’d like to thank you profusely for posting the whateverette under “So very NOT the way to wear your hair,” John.
I’m hoping the afterimages go away, but I believe my mind is scarred forever.
You can come kind of close with 135,791. 123,321 is already gone. We won’t be REALLY impressed until you hit 314,159. :-)
I’m afraid 234,567 just doesn’t have the same ring to it that 123,456 does. You’ll just have to write 119,329 more posts.
Reminds me that the script showed counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 before launch, but the Director, Fritz Lang, made the inspired invention of the “countdown” from 10 to 1, as more dramatic.
Any thoughts on the guy in your home town of Covina having dressed in a Santa suit, lugging an arsenal, that included a home-made flamethrower, to his ex-in-laws’s home and murdering 9 of them?
Happy Boxing Day.

Re: Covina: My thought is basically that it’s people like him that make me wish there’s a Hell after all.
No, but you will get 135,711 much sooner — all prime, all the time.
Alexon,
That’s exactly what I did. Love this thing!
I’m hangin’ around for 8675309.
Damn, I didn’t get it.
As most of the more interesting numbers have already been taken, I’ll be shooting for 124,421, the next-closest palindrome.
Okay, I’ll do my part to start cranking up the numbers. Of course, it will REALLY be impressive once you reach 1,234,567 comments.
Must … keep … trying!
Jim^WJohn, this is Matty down at Ralph’s and Mark’s. Some guy named Angel Martin just ran up a fifty buck bar tab. And now he wants to charge it to you. You gonna pay it?
