OSX Terminal Help (Weirdness)

Does anyone know why my OSX terminal is suddenly showing a number as the first character? It used to look (something) like:

#:~ michael$

now it shows stuff like this:

14:~ michael$

What the heck did I do?

Not sure, but to edit it you can change your .profile to set an environment variable called "PS1" with a set of escape sequences for whatever you want to see.

You're probably using bash.
