In 2011, Large Prime Numbers wrote and recorded a song called "Surfin' Cowboy".

By mid-2012 it had gone platinum so many times the world ran out of platinum.

That's not hyperbole: did you know that literally all of the platinum ever mined could fit in a medium-sized American middle-class living room? That's a 100% true fact.

When the world ran out of platinum, the record people started giving Large Prime Numbers ten gold records for every subsequent time "Surfin' Cowboy" went platinum. And so, by spring 2013, the world had run out of gold.

Go to Neptune they did, expecting to find diamonds. What they found, however, was something curious indeed: a bud which, when smoked, persuaded a human mind to forget the idea of war. They called it The Peace Greens.

And so the Second Renaissance began.
