Count to 10.000

1741 is a prime number. Full of corners. How many corners? I tell one in the 1, one in the 7, at least six in the 4, one in the 1.

No curve. The preceeding one, 1733, is more round. Less prime in a way

A recent rumor has been going around that in 1932, 1742 jelly babies were placed in a large jar and buried in Preston, UK, not far from what is now the Bowland Forest Gliding Club, Lower Cock Hillfarm.

All efforts to thwart the "Baby Seekers" as they call themselves have met with only mild success and each month several large holes have to be filled in at the taxpayer's expense.

A local paper has asked the adventures to change their name because it is causing confusion and fear among the general populace.

Not being a prime number, or part of a twin prime, 1743 isn't red, nor is it pink and smells like gasoline.

Sloto McBoto lands on Mars.

1745

Can I be honest? Aside from a few cruel jokes told at the pub in Islington, and a couple falling in love somewhere in the region of North-Rhine Westphalia, it was a pretty dull year.

Oh yeah, and the first recorded women's cricket match took place in Surrey.

Pfft.
