And yes, there are many more useful and productive things I should be doing with my Sunday afternoon. But I was deeply fascinated by this page.
Notice the 'Prime Numbers' section halfway down the page:
Prime numbers
3 – Number of plague-infected mice that a New Jersey biomedical research center says cannot be accounted for
32.13 – Number of seconds required by Ben Pridmore to memorize a shuffled sequence of 52 playing cards without error, a world record
14 – Number of new nuclear power stations China plans to build in the next 28 years
104 – Number of commercial nuclear power plants in United States, the last licensed in 1996
0 – Number of applications pending for new American nuclear plants
So... is there a reason why the writer felt that I fit in with the rest of these statistics? Am I the kind of person you naturally associate with plague-infected mice and nuclear power?

Yes.
I quite agree. I saw this thing about two-headed mice from Chernobyl just the other day and you were the first person I thought on, to be honest.
