137 Is a Natural Number Following 136 and Preceding 138

It is the 33rd prime number, and more than that, it is a Chen prime (and the fourth Stern prime.) It is the most common age of death mentioned in the Bible and in California, it is the penal code for an officer bribe to influence testimony. 137 is the numerical value of the Kabbalah and it might even lie at the heart of the Grand Unified Theory.

137 is also the page where you will find my poem "Plus a Lineup" in the second issue of Black Moon Magazine. All praise 137!
