Rumour has it that when Charles Babbage tried to verify it's status as a prime number, his difference engine spun alarmingly as if possessed, dragging the unfortunate Lady Ada Lovelace to her death, crushed in the gears.
In case your computing device becomes possessed by Belphegor's prime: disconnect the power supply and immerse in holy water for at least one week. Alternatively burn your device at the stake, this works particularly well for iPhones. Merry Christmas!
