This may save your life one day.

1 is not a prime number.

Phew... I'm glad I was able to get that piece of information to the blogosphere before it was too late. To think of what may have happened if people didn't know this... It keeps me awake at night, honestly. Don't go around telling people that 1 is a prime number, because it's not. The consequences of this misconception could be catastrophic.
