the prophet Bush
from The San Francisco Chronicle - much respect to online newspapers that do not require yucky registration
Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath says Mr Bush told him and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President: "I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.' And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,' and I did."
And "now again", Mr Bush is quoted as telling the two, "I feel God's words coming to me: 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God, I'm gonna do it."

Math::BigFloat does it after 128 iterations!
It turns out that normal float is correct up until the 51st iteration but then loses it on iteration 52.
Using Math::BigFloat is horrendously slow, though.

2.293166287411860793099549482576549053192138671875
wrote an ugly perl script to brute force a^(a+1) = (a+1)^a
at the moment it uses normal floats and I think that is what is limiting it to 48 digits.
next I want to extend it to use Math::BigFloat and see if I can get further.
here's the output:

here's the output:
Let's brute a^(a+1) = (a+1)^a
Using Floater
It's somewhere between 2 and 3...
