Another take: mathematicians like to have theorems (cathedrals) named after them ... but they say the height of distinction is to have an eponymous lemma (brick).

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 the (prime!) NCBI ID for the Phactr3[1] lab mouse gene, divided by 3, and then by each of the first six consecutive primes.
