Hmm
Primes have irrational inverses? I hope you don't mean reciprocals like 1/3, 1/5, 1/7 etc...

crazy numbers
The square root of 2 is irrational. I believe all prime numbers have irrational square roots and (>2) inverses.
I have long contended that only irrational numbers are real, real numbers being useful abstractions for counting math, but not so much for equations. Zero and one are exceptions, of course. And the square root of negative one. Good numbers, those and their buddy infinity, all worthy of membership in the irrational club even if technically disqualified.
If Euler's number is natural log e, it is also irrational.
God doesn't play dice, she gathers imaginary and irrational inverse square roots in fractal piles. We can't keep up unless we slow her down.

Jay is more of a counting math guy, although the inverse square root of three is irrational.
