In mathematics
65535 is a Mersenne number, being 216 − 1. But since its index, 16, is not prime, 65535 cannot be a Mersenne prime. It is the product of the first four Fermat primes: 65535 = (2 + 1)(4 + 1)(16 + 1)(256 + 1). Because of this property, it is possible to construct with compass and straightedge a regular polygon with 65535 sides. See constructible polygon.
65535 is the 15th 626-gonal number, the 5th 6555-gonal number, the 3rd 21846-gonal number.
In computing
65535 is a frequently occurring number in the field of computing because it is the highest number which can be represented by an unsigned 16 bit binary number. Some computer programming environments may have pre-defined constant values representing 65535, with names like "MAX_UNSIGNED_SHORT".
65535 is sometimes expressed as 216-1 (two to the power of sixteen, minus one)
thats the problem
THATS WHY NO JOURNAL FOR 5 HOURS OMG APOCOLYPSE
cant remember what the topic/journal (poll even?) was about, though...

sad thing it didnt fix the problem, nor it gave us a clue about what it is.
sir i can tell u this
FAIL!
