Yes Prime Number!

Listening to Dance Hall At Louse Point

Spent two years thinking this was Louise Point.

It sounds like someone else had the same idea about the Squid.

Talking about wildlife, I was nearly mugged by a gang of rabbits the other day. Being out in the country, we have to run the gauntlet of the local fauna just to make it from car park to desk. The rabbits normally cower in the bushes being slightly more timid than the more predatory inhabitants of the green stuff. However, this day they were gathered together actually on the paving right by the automatic door, looking up as if to wonder why the sensor wasn’t picking them up. I imagined they were planning a mass break-in as soon as someone went in. My image of rabbity chaos in the computer rooms was dispelled as they returned to the form more normal for those in the middle of the food chain and scarpered in a fuzzy cloud of scuts.

The BBC had a number day yesterday with Terry Jones and The Story of One, which was far better than I was expecting despite the overuse of computer generated versions of the Number one. The decimation of a roman section of ones has never been made more clearly. This was followed by The Music Of The Primes with Marcus du Sautoy which struggled to explain the Riemann hypothesis though it had beautiful graphics. Number One Son was rapt for about five minutes before he joined his mother in sleep. I nearly bought Marcus du Sautoy’s book about primes but it had too many equations in it. More later.
