Christmas Eve from JB's Twitter (no news, just fun)
Mr. Death:
I'm just impressed that Harry knows prime numbers up to what must be in the millions, if not billions.

Not overly difficult, numbers greater than one that can only be divided by themselves.
raidem:
But to just know that...I mean I'd have to sit down and go through lots of math... Is it even, does it end with 5 or 0, do the digits add up to a multiple of 3...And those are just basic rules I use to screen for potential primes. After that I'd have to do something other than what I'm use to.
Back to Murphy though.
I did find it odd that Murphy wasn't there. However, I will say, I found it odd that Mister wasn't there. Mister would be with Murphy. The fact that Mister wasn't around seems to suggest he is with Murphy.
I also had the thought to conform with my ideas that Murphy=Mab, that Murphy was actually there with Harry on Christmas just in another guise.
I guess I could read the situation between Mab and Mouse as perhaps Mouse knowing something about Mab/Murphy and not letting Harry on to it. Mab showing appreciation/respect to Mouse for this secret being kept.
Mab/Murphy giving a gift to Maggie. When Mab says to make sure Maggie knows who gave the present to her, this could have a dual meaning. There is the Mab identity, and the 'I was a mortal once you know' that underlies the Mab construct.
I still have a bit of a hard time though with trying to mesh Mab/Murphy with having Maeve/Sarissa. And then, all the Harry's references to Mab's view about Walt Disney etc.
Dina:
Yes, that is what I said about Murphy raidem.

(click to show/hide)"The first time I ever had to punish Maggie was when she fed broccoli to my cat, Mister. It was just after Christmas..." it's that a Zoo Day quote? I have not read that. I don't know when Zoo takes place either.

Yes, I am aware of what a prime number is. I did, in fact, pass elementary school math. ::)
The average person doesn't know them up to the billions, though, which is what the medical bill for thousands of people and funerals for hundreds more likely adds up to.
