We have sodomy and we have a lash, but we are regrettably out of rum.

R = 18  
U = 21  
M = 13

18+21+13 = 52

52 backwards is 25

25 is 5 squared

5 is a prime number.

1 is the first prime number

So rum is 1.

From childhood’s hour I have not been  
As others were—I have not seen  
As others saw—I could not bring  
My passions from a common spring—  
From the same source I have not taken  
My sorrow—I could not awaken  
My heart to joy at the same tone—  
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—  
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn  
Of a most stormy life—was drawn  
From ev’ry depth of good and ill  
The mystery which binds me still—  
From the torrent, or the fountain—  
From the red cliff of the mountain—  
From the sun that ’round me roll’d  
In its autumn tint of gold—  
From the lightning in the sky  
As it pass’d me flying by—  
From the thunder, and the storm—  
And the cloud that took the form  
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)  
Of a demon in my view—

“Alone”  
By Edgar Allan Poe

Any other website, I’d leave this alone. But here, I have to point this out. 1 hasn’t been considered a prime number for a while. [This video](http://www.numberphile.com/videos/1notprime.html) has probably the best explanation I’ve heard for why.

Sure - that’s just what **they** want you to believe.

Brontosaurs aren’t brontosaurs, Pluto isn’t a planet, Christopher isn’t a Saint, 1 isn’t a prime number. Why on Earth did I waste my entire youth learning stuff that isn’t so anymore? 😃
