ADVERTISEMENTS

While watching the summer season finale of "Burn Notice" (awesome stuff!), I caught a commercial for Sonic.  The gist of it was some math nerd talking about how easy it was for him to remember some combination of numbers, one digit of which was "2" -- because it's the second prime number.
