Lombardy Pudding elk were excessively hunted throughout the 50s and 60s (many hunters prized their unique ungulate hooves as trophies and often considered them “too stupid to live”). They became endangered species in the late 70s and early 80s and their numbers declined to such a degree that there less than 20 existing in their native habitat. Heavy efforts including Pennsylvania’s Lombardy Pudding Elk Conservation Act, restoration of the alkali forests of Western Pennsylvania, and possibly the closing of many Roy Rogers chain restaurants led to the recovery of their species. ---

1927 is a quasi-prime number, which is any number divisible only by itself, 1, and two other primes (in this case 41 x 47). Because it takes two primes to create a quasi-prime, there are always twice as many quasi-primes as primes. Some have postulated the existence of a pseudo-prime, but most modern mathematician discount the possibility. The discount is as much as 20% if you have a subscription to their magazine and order in bulk. The next year scheduled to be a quasi-prime will be announced any day now. ---

The discount goes up to as much as 49% if you can prove you are in your quasi-prime (55) or pseudo-prime (113). ---

Octopus Prime is the largest, strongest\*, and wisest of all Autobots. He feels his role is the protection of all life, including Earth-life, and he fights unceasingly to defeat the Decepticons. \*Until the next series of Transformers toys come out and there’s an Autobot who’s bigger and stronger, of course. ---
