getting primed

The other night I mentioned to Jeff that I wasn't sure how I felt about turning 43, since 42, at least, was a number that had an interesting connection to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. As I was saying that, though, I remembered that 43 is a prime number, so I became a little more enthusiastic. Then today as I was walking out to my car after work, I had the sudden realization that the month and day, 7 and 31, are prime numbers, too (ok, not a huge deal, since half the months are prime, as are one-third of the days in a month, but still cool).
