Cubed

Today is my cube birthday (27=3^3). I haven't had this much fun since I was four (2^2) and have to wait a long time for the next mathematically-significant age (64=4^4). Other moderately interesting facts about the number 27. It should be a good year.

Happy Birthday, but don't forget about pi^pi!

Happy Birthday. You have many mathmatically signifigant birthdays left. You have 2^5 to look forward to, as well as 2^6. You probably won't make it to 2^7 though.
Then you have the primes to look forward to, lets see, between 27 and 100 you have 29,37,41,53,61,73,89,97, and if you can swing it 101 as well.
Then you have 42 of hitchhikers fame, and all the palindromes, 33,44,55,66,77,88,99. Although neither of these are mathmatically signifigant they are fun anyway.
