[Salmon Trout]

so we can do homework.

It gives super-nerds something better to do then watch re-runs of star trek or watch the star-wars movies once again or fight in the holy war between star trek and star wars fans in some sort of futile attempt to prove which is better.

I mean seriously...

The alternative is solitaire. and the one built into windows only has 32768 different deck shuffles. Oh the humanity.

Or heck just make a Star Trek game using programming

Yeah, or some sort of RPG game where you play as a fan and battle fans from the other fandom.

Computers perform repetitive tasks much better than humans:  mathematical calculations can be done much faster.  Consider, for example, computing prime numbers.

and it always gives you an excuse to curse at everyone

[Helpmeh]

You can rub it in other people's faces that you can do something they can't!

You could also become a power-hungry & tyrannical overlord.

Consider, for example, computing prime numbers.

That's easy! 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 51, etc.....

ahh, OK. what about the fourteenth palidromic prime number? No cheating! 

[kpac]

383. Oh, and 1 isn't a prime number.

I had to look up the definition of palindromic.

[Helpmeh]

Palindromic word, GO!

I, man, am regal -- a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see God?
Do nine men interpret Nine men I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?

Ah Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No x in Nixon
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
Naomi I moan
A Toyota's a Toyota
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

Oh, no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies -- run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

1 word.

There is only one town in Ireland that has a palindromic name.
