Pretty interesting. Hopefully whoever looked to see when those letters appeared didn't write out every single number and realized that 1001 is just one thousand one and saw that it's the same as counting from one all over again.
 Too bad it doesn't say when c shows up, now I am intrigued to find out but I don't really feel like looking it up. My guess is it'd be at one octillion.

Actually the first time C shows up is in octillion and yes I did look it up and this website list all the groups of numbers starting at thousand and talking about googleplex. Again though it's amazing about what complex patterns people can find from something simple as numbers and time.

Peopl have way too much time on their hands. I mean it could be coincidence this was discovered but the documentation of it and the spreading around of it is rather pointless.
