Replies to What Prime Number Changed Your Life?

In a previous post about a dream I had involving life-changing prime numbers, I asked (jokingly) what prime number changed your life. I actually received a reply:

“The number 17. First, I met my husband for the first time the day before I turned 17 and second, I was married on the 17th of December.”

What prime number changed your life?

It was an odd question to be sure, even more so because I am not employed in the arithmetic industry nor am I a math nerd. Also, this was a dream.

I remember years ago watching an episode of Batman: The Animated Series. They said that you couldn’t read in your dreams, but I found out a couple months later that not only could I read in my dreams, but I found myself correcting my dream’s spelling.

Prime numbers are evenly divisible only by themselves and one (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.).

Anyway, the other night I had a dream and one of the guys at my workplace was in it.

“What prime number changed your life?” he asked.

Heck if I knew. Normally prime numbers don’t do anything for me. After I woke up I tried to think of the answer to  the question, but I really just ended up back-reasoning answers to fit the question (let’s see, One for God, Three for the Trinity….)

So…what prime number changed your life?

William Tyndale

On this (traditional) date in 1536 William Tyndale was strangled and burned at the stake for the crime of heresy, heresy which included translating the Bible into English from the Hebrew and Greek source texts.

“I defy the Pope, and all his laws; and if God spares my life, ere many years, I will cause the boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost!”
