    I never understood the Sieve of Eratosthenes until this meme.

      You know what? Now that you mention it, I think reading that story in the Dulaires book of Greek myths was my first conscious exposure to the word “sieve.”

      Not that that’s too interesting to anyone besides me, but you just unburied a long-forgotten pleasant memory, so thanks!
