> I've been thinking a lot about perfect numbers (numbers who's factors when added up equal the number itself) and I found a list of the first 23. It just boggles my mind how large the 23rd perfect number is, and I wanted to boggle yours too.

Gosh, Wes. I don't know why anybody cares what the perfect number is. I think a really great number is good enough. Perfect is just too much.
You mentioned 23, and that strikes me as being pretty neat as numbers go. I was born on August 23, it's a prime number, it's almost two dozen, it's the last two numerals on my license plate -- that makes it good enough for me. Yep, I'll vote for 23 as a really great number.
