Numbers for Badges

Are these numbers random? For example the Golden Ladle Award requires 137 meals made with the Awesome Pot. Why 137 and not 130; just to keep it random? Not that I mind I think its different from most games where it is every 50 or 100 of something.

• In another life Stoot used to have a fondness for prime numbers. Maybe he still does.

• Prime numbers are awesome.
  
  Also, 137 is special in other ways. The internet knows.

• Lol. I kept assuming that I got the badge for weird numbers because that was the amount I had hit. (I like to do things in large batches)

• Yeah that's what I thought at first too, until I started browsing the Encyclopedia.

• Oh it IS prime isn't it? That's beautiful. Also, research shows that expected, but sporatic rewards are more effective at getting people to like stuff than predictable rewards (e.g multiples of 50).

• Are we going with the fine structure constant here? Or the golden angle? (No, I did not look those up, I am just that big a nerd)
  
  Edit: Forgot primeval numbers *facepalm*
