By Ben Hoffman

In July 2004, a relatively infamous billboard ad in California displayed, without any hint of explanation, simply “{first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits of e}.com.” For most, this doubtlessly didn’t mean anything worth thinking about, and correspondingly, thousands probably drove past, glanced sideways at it, and went on to contemplate the lamb chop dinner… Continue reading Google: six attributes away from God
