February 20, 2002 = 20Feb2002 = 20022002
How to find 3 palindromic factors for 20022002.
Haribol Prabhus,
Simply a matter of breaking down into prime factors and then recombining into palindromic form.
For example, by trial and error, you find factors as follows:
20022002 / 2 = 10011001.
10011001 / 11 = 910091.
910091 / 91 = 10001. 91 / 7 = 13.
10001 / 73 = 137
Since 73 and 137 are prime, we've got all prime factors: 2, 7, 11, 13, 73, 137.
Now, recombining, 2 * 11 = 22, 13 * 73 = 949, and 7 * 137 = 959.
Thus, we obtain required palindromes 22, 949, 959.
******************
Dear Tarun Prabhu,
Thank you very much for your continued defense of Gaudiya Math acaryas and our guru parampara in general.
It seems fanaticism drives fanatics lower than ordinary folks who don't have any "cause" they take in an extreme way, be it religious, spiritual, political, etc.
It even propels them lower than animals - who simply follow ways of nature.
In this case, moderation is best. (Actually, anything, be it moderation or extremism, is good if it is for Krsna, as long as it really is for Him.
If something is not for Krsna, then whether it is moderate or extreme, it
is still useless, ultimately.)
The average individual without extremist leanings would deal respectfully with all, addressing everyone with common courtesy. He would not use words like "sicksha gurus", demons, deviants, etc, in labeling
Gaudiya Math acaryas.
He would know the folly of stereotyping or
judging a group of people based on the actions of a few.
Even there are karmi laws prohibiting prejudice and discrimination.
Devotees are supposed to be higher, filled with love for God, all humankind, and all living entities, in general.
But, the fact that we've sunk below karmi level in our dealings with each other or even toward so-called nondevotees, is an indication something is amiss with our extremist views and that we're going
backwards instead of forwards.
We ought to reexamine ourselves with an eye toward self-improvement, humility, love, and respect for all, not just on a
superficial level, but deep down, until we eventually arrive at prema, our hearts bursting with too much love for all. Anyway, this is easier said than
done, and I'm the first who should take my own advice, as it's said
"Physician, heal thyself!".
-A very fallen soul, lower than the "karmis", "nondevotees", or
animals.
P.S. You can share these thoughts with others, but try to let me remain anonymous, in background.
You have my permission to use any good idea I may accidentally or providentially come up with.
Of course, the bad ideas I disown as symptoms of my fallenness, and advise others to summarily reject, which goes without saying.

Police were left shaking their heads after they picked up two teenage boys in a stolen car.
Mere minutes earlier, these very same 2
lads had appeared in court accused of 25 vehicle thefts.
When arrested for the 26th, they said they didn't have bus fair to get home from court.

Do you know why February 20 this year will be a historic moment in time?!?
It's pretty amazing, and it's something that has not occurred for 1,001 years, and will NEVER happen again.
Click Here to Find Out what it is!
T here: I click but nothing happened.
My guess is it's another palindrome:
2002-2002 = 20Feb2002
1,001 yrs ago what happened?
1,001 yrs ago is RamanujAcarya's time.
1001-1001 is either 10Jan1001 or Oct 1, 1001
And why never again? Can u figure out why? Why not?
3003-3003 would be either 30Mar3003 or ? No other possible answer.
So my answer is wrong. Howsa 'bout u all?
Hope he's not predicting devastation in yet a new way.

Pigheadedness lands man in pigpen
PAINSESVILLE, Ohio — Steven Thompson's disorderly conduct landed him in public sty.

Thompson, 44, had two options when he appeared in court last week to plead guilty to charge of disorderly conduct. He could serve three days in jail or stand in pen for two hours on city sidewalk next to a 350-pound pig with sign reading, "This is not a police officer." Thompson picked latter and served his sentence on Feb. 8 in front of jovial lunchtime crowd that included his teenage daughter and several friends, according to Painesville police department spokesman.

Disorderly conduct charge stemmed from Jan. 28 confrontation with city police officer during which Thompson used word "pig" amid an array of obscenities. Altercation took place when officer was completing disturbance report in his patrol car.

Some criticized Judge Michael Cicconetti, saying unconventional sentence was publicity stunt, and even arguing Thompson's First Amendment rights were violated. But judge, known for his creative sentencing for misdemeanors, said Thompson was charged for being disorderly, not for his speech.

Law catches up with talkative fugitive
TICONDEROGA, N.Y. — Man who called police to brag that he couldn't be caught was arrested while still on phone.

Michael LaRock, 22, was recently arrested in Georgia after year on lam on burglary charges. LaRock had been indicted for stealing from motel room in Essex County, N.Y., in January 2001, but shortly after fled area, according to Ticonderoga police officer Daniel Charlton.

On Jan. 22, authorities say LaRock called Ticonderoga police boasting he would never be caught. LaRock told police to give up looking for him and to stop bothering his family near Massena, a town near Canadian border. LaRock would call and then hang up within three minutes, saying he knew how system worked and how numbers can be traced, according to Charlton.

But LaRock miscalculated.

Police were almost immediately able to track LaRock to Auburn, Ga., address through caller identification system. Charlton contacted Auburn police department and notified them of suspect. LaRock then called police back.

"I was on phone with him when I heard doorbell ring," Charlton told Court TV. "He got up to answer it and then I heard scuffle. It was police. He was arrested right there after short chase." Charlton and another officer drove down to Georgia on Jan. 31 to bring LaRock back to Essex County.

Naked woman takes off in police cruiser
BURLINGTON, N.C. — Bare she goes!==>

Florida woman is in custody after she allegedly paraded naked in downtown Burlington and then stole cruiser of responding police officer.

Sequence of events began about 11 p.m. on Feb. 5 when Cpl. J.W. Snow responded to call about suspicious woman attempting to get into cars outside local convenience store. When he arrived, Cpl. Snow found Joy Lynn Tedesco, totally nude in 22-degree weather, trying to flag down motorists. Officer immediately directed Tedesco into backseat of cruiser to get her out of cold and proceeded to get blanket from trunk, according to Maj. Randy Jones of Burlington police department.

But as Cpl. Snow walked toward back of his cruiser, Tedesco managed to squeeze through plastic shield separating front and back seats and drove off. Cpl. Snow had opened shield to allow heat to get through.

After four-minute chase reaching speeds of 60 mph, authorities were able to corner Tedesco in parking lot and apprehend her. During pursuit, Tedesco rammed a cruiser, causing $400 in damage, Jones told Court TV.

Tedesco, 33, faces numerous charges, including car theft, speeding to elude arrest, driving while impaired, driving with revoked license and assaulting police officer. At station, police found Tedesco clutching onto a crack pipe. Her clothes were later recovered on steps of boarding house near where she was originally picked up.

*** Today's Useless Fact ***
~ Knock on Wood ~
In Britain, the phrase is "touch wood," but the meaning is the same.
It's said (while performing the act, of
course) as a way of warding off evil influences.

There are several interesting theories about the origin of this ancient ritual. The most commonly accepted explanation goes back to pre-Christian times, when Pagans believed in the protective powers of spirits of certain trees, notably oak, ash, or holly.
By touching the tree, one was said to awaken the benevolent spirit within.

Another theory that may ultimately come from the same source involves the extremely ancient children's game of tag, where one who is touching a tree is safe from capture.

It is likely that another explanation, in which the wood is the cross of Jesus, is a Christian reinterpretation of a much older source.
Another unlikely theory explains that during the Spanish Inquisition, Jews would use certain codes to knock on the wooden doors of synagogues for safe entry.

Odd Hawaiian Education for Mike Myers
World Entertainment News Network

MIKE MYERS found his father's dislike of all things Hawaiian so hilarious as he was growing up, he decided to use it as a running gag in his new AUSTIN POWERS film.

Myers' British father always told his son that the Hawaiians could never be forgiven for killing explorer CAPTAIN JAMES COOK in 1779 and so the movie star incorporated that way of thinking in his new movie, in which MICHAEL CAINE plays his onscreen dad.

The funnyman explains, "Michael's character has this hatred of the Dutch, and in particular of the villainous Goldmember.

"I grew up with this thing about Hawaiians. My dad would be like, `They murdered Captain Cook in his sleep - never gave him a chance, mate.'"

How many Hawaaians did Cook kill before he himself was offed a la AzvatthAmA?

Harrison Ford Made to Feel Old
World Entertainment News Network

Movie star HARRISON FORD realized he has already started being treated like a pensioner when he found himself shopping for incontinence pants.

The actor, who turned 60 on Saturday, was trying to help girlfriend CALISTA FLOCKHART when she asked him to get diapers for her baby LIAM - but was left red faced when a pimplefaced store clerk directed him to incontinence pants.

Ford explains, "We were in Livingstone, Montana, and I went into a store and I asked the guy, `Where are the disposable diapers?' and this snaggle-toothed kid says, 'Aisle six, sir,' and I go over to aisle six and there's nothing but Depends.

"The baby diapers were on the other side of the store."

This was the recurring demon in a trivia forum I used to hang out in. No amount of posting could get rid of it although it seems to have moved here.

I believe the riddle goes something like this. Hungry and angry are two words ending in -gry. What is the third word in the English language?

The answer is below. But read the question carefully.
