The 26th Prime

Dalmatians. The total number of episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man ever made. Orwell's grand punishment room. An ill-fated airship in 1930. Uses for a dead cat.

And the number of goals scored so far for Manchester United by Wayne Rooney as of today.

Please tell me that you only discovered the $6M man factoid when you googled '101' earlier...

Otherwise you're sadder than I thought.

Ricky, what can I say...

And what do you mean - sadder than you thought???

The fact in question is given in the Wikipedia entry for "101," as is the far more interesting (to me, anyhow) one that 101 is a Chen prime.
