Okay... here is a picture and a recipe (though I make buttermilk biscuits). The picture isn't that great, but I think you can get the gist of it from this.

And Steve... for you, a huge pot of chili. I made some for a party we were having at work one night, and the Texas doctor who was there said it was the best chili he'd ever tasted.

I have my faults, but I can cook.

(2 to the power of anything) minus one is not divisible by two. Try it with some smaller numbers.

The prime quoted is, rather boringly, the largest number proven to be prime. Larger ones exist (as proven by Euclid) but none larger have been found yet.

Sorry Clare, you picked my pet subject!

A prime is a number whose only factors are itself and 1. Your Member Number is divisible by 5, so you're crashing.

My member number is 2^5, so I'm crashing even more.

By a stroke of luck I seem to be on the list of invitees to the party. I clicked on here and there I was so what can I bring?

OK, I'll handle the booze.
Boddingtons, John Smith's Extra Smooth, Caffreys, Kilkenny and Guinness for me

and a small bottle of vodka for the girls.

Does that sound reasonable?

I could lay on chinese herbal tea if you prefer and we can go healthy with carrots and celery to nibble.

Greetings fellow Prime People.

As this is a religious site can I ask...

Do we have a Prime Minister?

I have just checked the invitation list again and there are (to date) 114 possible attendees at the party. This should be good enough for some fun.

Well, I am the first prime, so I think that's me by default.

It's considered a unit. The definition of prime is an integer greater than one that can only be divided by one and itself.

To go any further you'll need to find a math page, because that's about all I can remember.

They have been thoroughly offended by your snobbish and exclusive nature!

I sure that I can find some message of Erin's talking about exclusive clubs, etc. wonder if I should quote it?

Erin is Prime Minister. Great. Once again, we all have to kiss Erin's butt. And in Heaven, too -- there oughta be a law against this.

OK,

Having considered this very carefully for a couple of secondsI think the girls do need a little more to drink so I will be puchasing a small bottle of Russian to go with the Vodka.

Member #163 rushing in to join the party. (For a while I thought, for some unknown reason, I was 168 - which is definitely not prime, but hurray I am prime.)

I'm not really a party animal, but I'll try my best not to sour the proceedings!

If Erin's Prime Minister, what can I be? I do have a rather good number...

I'll bring the Pringles, by the way. Any particular flavours, guys?

Moo, I would love the pecan roll. Anything pecan is a friend of mine. Ruth, no butt kissing in Heaven. Just quiet and tasteful worship is all I ask. babybear, exclusive clubs are only bad when I'm not part of 'em.

Maddie,

I love a good threat.

You have just earned yourself a bottle of gin and some tonic water to go with it.

Get me in a headlock and you might get some Martini.

I'll even throw in the Diet Pepsi.

Wood,

As you seem to want some sort of official title for the party here are a few suggestions. Pick the one that takes your fancy and we'll make you a badge.

Prime Factor
Prime Interval
Prime L. Scream
Prime and Proper
Prime R.E. School (I think this is the one)
Prime R.E. Colour
Prime Time
Wood Primer (maybe this one is better)

Let us know and the badge will be yours.

What is the thread doing in Heaven anyway?

You lot as having an exclusive (well trying too. ) shipmeet. But as we all know, cos we have read the guidelines for each board, that is within the realms of All Saints.

Could some kind member of the Heavenly Host please boot this out of Heaven?

(Then I'll get the Motherboard, to tell them to behave, and let everyone play. ::snigger:: )

Actually Babybear, Clare discussed it first and we decided given how silly it was likely to be Heaven was the most appropriate place so there!

So does that make you a prime candidate for conversion?

Pooh, I forgot that Maddie was a prime.

Wonder if the Motherboard is a prime..... What about Belly-thingy, is he one too?

It's a conspiricy I tell you!

I think each of us should adopt one of the little coloured children down there on the left. We can name them as they will be our own babies.

I would like to adopt

I think I will call him Primate (Prime Hate)

Daddy, have you got a throat lozenge?

Peregrinner, 69 is divisible by three, so you must ask nicely not just take the children.
