politicians

this whole situation makes me want to laugh (and cry). We have politicians "multinational bashing" because they are avoiding paying millions in taxes because of loopholes put into the tax system by these politicians. But according to the same politicians we should all stop "banker bashing", even though they nearly destroyed the world economy and had to be bailed out to the tune of BILLIONS! Talk about double standards! And they wonder why people distrust politicians.

I remember seeing the Royal Institution Christmas lectures a few years ago about prime numbers. The cicadas were mentioned due to the fact that their appearance was every 17 years which is a prime and the lecture proceeded to explain why it was every 17 years and not any of the earlier prime years. I can't remember the explanation but as its maths, that's the IT angle right?
