Quite a few things actually, including the cover story "Heal thyself: the real power of mind over matter". But perhaps A Challenge can repost the item after this:

Time to resurrect this thread after a three-month sabbatical. What better way to do that than looking at the Holt 2831 Single Toilet Roll Holder?

The problem must be a lack of internet connection - what we need is the Vigor 2832 Series ADSL Router!

2834^4+1 = 64505891781137
2834^4+3 = 64505891781139
These are twin primes.

It seems like squillions of years ago that we last had a moth, so I'm going for the North American Astronomer Moth Olethreutes astrologana, with a Hodges number of 2837. Here it is found deep in the woods off a path, confronting a small spider.

Someone has created a YouTube channel called 2838. Why, I don't now, it says soon and inactive on their profile pictures, and it has no content, so I'm not quite sure what's going on!

And amazingly, it has 43 subscribers!
There's a little bit more on this YouTube video, I'm pleased to say - it's a clip of the steam locomotive Royal Hudson 2839. Originally owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway, it was sold to a group of owners in Pennsylvania, USA and briefly used for excursions in 1979-80. It's now in a museum in California.
