Seems to be the usual line-wrap mess when using the submission form
carelessly.

See the FAQ's: "Q: A comma appeared in the middle of a number in my sequence
- why?"
 http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/FAQ.html#Z43

The correct sequence should be:

0,0,2,20,112,696,5008,40280,362760,3628504,39916152,
           479000272,6227017600,87178281288,1307674342408,
                                ***********
           20922789832080,355687427952808,6402373705217304,
           121645100407380704,2432902008173142656
           ******************
The interspersed small values "1288" and "80704" just have to be
concatenated with
the preceding entries to get what the comment says.
