130 is not a valid binary number expression, binary number only has two valid digits, 0 and 1. The second argument you gave to parseInt was meant as base indicator. When you passed 2, you tell Javascript to treat "130" as a binary number (base 2), but Javascript stop parsing the given string as it finds "3", which is not a valid binary digit. The expression "130" was then understood as just "1" because the incorrect base specification failed the parsing process.

No it doesn't work like that, the second parameter indicates in wich number system the string should be interpreted, 130 is interpreted as a binary number so 130 is bit 1 bit 3? The parser was like what the hell is this ? A bit with a value 3 ? So it discards all bits after 1 and prints only 1.
