Is this relevant in any way shape or form?

[The Undeniable Truth]

Now I will admit I don't get off to staring at a white board all day and night trying to find to god dam numbers that are separated by the integer two. But in what way does this help the scientific community advance at all, it figures that only some frenchy would find this. I mean what else do they have to do besides complain about America and how they are better then them? Back to the point, I mean so this guy find the largest twin prime ever discovered big deal. Sometimes I get off the toilet and think I discovered the biggest prime and yes it does involve the number two. At least this guy could of been wasting his time on something more useful like a way to make people actually give a crap about what some frog figures out one day as hes getting off to calculus. I hope some where in his grave Einstein is spinning because if he was still alive he would of been disgraced to help advance mankind.
