Right on! Why have we been spending all this time looking for creatures on other planets when we don't know about all the ones on our own yet? :laugh:

Hasn't been updated since 1999 and clearly isn't worth downloading :/

Interesting how they come up with ways to get you to run absolutly useless apps.
That's got to be the funniest waste of power I've ever seen!:D:laugh:

I thought the smallest prime number is 2? :confused:

I guess I can stop looking now.
I was just thinking that you put a "-" in front of the largest prime and you'd have the smallest prime, but my math isn't that great so I'm probably wrong.

"In mathematics, a prime number, or prime for short, is a natural number greater than one and whose only distinct positive divisors are 1 and itself."

"Natural number can mean either a positive integer (1, 2, 3, 4, ...) or a non-negative integer (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...)."

I think that whole site is 'tongue in cheek' for those who haven't already guessed that;)
