[edit] Reflections

I originated this article as a juvenile joke (despite my age). Original contents:

138 is the natural number following 137 and preceding 139.

138 is the smallest integer not having it's own article in the English Wikipedia. ...Oups...

Within a week, this resulted in a fairly substantial article. I might be tempted to repeat the joke on the next "missing" articles in the integer sequence (139 (number), 143 (number), 146 (number), 148 (number), 149 (number)...). At a rate of one per week, we'd soon get to 200. But I won't - after all, the joke is not THAT fun...--Niels Ø 08:39, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
