Does anyone know the significance, if any, of the second series of numbers used in today's Foxtrot? I am familiar with the first one, the Fibonacci Series, but I don't recognize the 2nd. 302325

googling reveals that it's the beginning of the "Perrin sequence": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perrin_number

If this is simply a coincidence that this strip runs on the day Knife of Dreams was released, I will eat my nonexistent hat.
