Voted "SITE OF THE WEEK" by AMAZON.co.uk 17/4/01 and since then it's got even better.
Souter Lighthouse in South Shields hasn't flashed its light since 1988, but now it's got a new job.
In June it will be surrounded by three brass bands, while out at sea 30 boats will be blasting their sirens. The lighthouse will join in by blowing its FOGHORN!
Whoever thought of this has our everlasting respect. We LOVE it.
It's very long, it's very boring and it's VERY useless ... and WE LOVE IT!
It's the 48th Mersenne Prime! 257,885,161-1
It was discovered on Jan 25th 2013, and it's 17,425,170 digits long, so if you printed it out in a font big enough to read it would be about 30 miles (50 km) long!
