I was going to make a vacuous comment about bricks, but then I noticed your user ID.

082349872349872 is a fascinating number.

Assuming one places a decimal point after the leading zero, and that it continues to repeat ...349872..., then:

It is equal to 74189, divided by three, and then divided by each of the first six consecutive primes.

74189, in turn, is a prime number which is also the NCBI Gene ID for the Phactr3[1] protein coding gene in lab mice.

I double checked my arithmetic because I couldn't believe it and I confirmed I get 0.82349872349872349872349872349872...
