13 million digit prime number? Economy still sucks.

Some UCLA nerds are being praised for discovering a 13 million digit prime number. Yawn. They are now in line to win a whole bunch of awards. This has got to be a joke right. Two things that they would need to do to win an award from me. One, they can use these math skills and fix the damn economy. These people are obviously smart, and we have them working on this crap? What a giant waste of time. That's like having Tom Brady (when he is healthy) filling up Gatorade cups on the sideline. The second thing that would impress me is if these clowns spent the rest of their lives counting up to this number. That's about as productive as finding a 13 million digit prime number.
