Learned about the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) this morning. There's just something about prime numbers, I think I'll add my computer to the search this evening.

Mersenne primes are of the form 2^p - 1, and currently the largest known prime is a Mersenne prime found by GIMPS. Exciting stuff!
