Prime number years
I was born in 1979, which is a prime number (as are both 19 and 79). Coincidentally, Albert Einstein was born exactly one hundred years before in 1879, also a prime number. Your best chance of being born in a prime number year in the past millennium was to have been born in the 15th century (17 prime number years, from 1409 to 1499) while the lowest chance would have been the 14th century (just 11 prime number years, with a 34-year gap between the years 1327 and 1361). The next prime number year will be 2011.

i know you're quite busy, but i just came across this webpage with all kinds of interesting qualities of many of the numbers from 0 - 10,000
the numbers are color-coded for their various properties which will likely jar with your own associations, but it might be interesting to you nonetheless.

Hi Daniel,
I have just finished "Born on a Blue day" and felt that I had to get in contact with you to tell you how much it affected me.
I read the whole thing from cover to cover in a few hours and could not put it down.
I know you probably don't want fame and recognition personally as you are not that kind of guy, but I just wanted to say that I think you are a genuinely wonerful person and I am so happy for you and Neil, but especially for Neil, as he has found such a wonderful, interesting, fascinating person to share his days with.
I wish you both all the happiness in the world and thank you so much for sharing your story.

Hey wow, I never realized that.
I was born on the 2nd of January 1979 and 2179 (as in 2/1/79) is also prime!
I look forward to reading your book.

No talks in London planned for the moment, but I am appearing at Waterstone's in Canterbury at the end of September. I'll post details on here nearer the time. Best, Daniel
Hey Daniel,
Just wanted to say I am reading your book at the moment and can't seem to put it down. Congratulations on all the success! You are truly an incredible man.
Well, Merry Christmas to you, Neil & your loved ones. Have a great one.
P.S For some reason, I want to share this song with you.. Alexi Murdoch - All Of My Days
hi Daniel, read a piece of news about you in the newspaper here in China. and i am so amazed by your talent. >_< i hope "Born on a Blue Day" would also be published in China~ looking forward to reading it to know more about your story~~ ^_^
I'm three years late in posting this but....
Well, heck! I didn't know I was born in a prime year. I was also born in 1979. That's pretty cool.
Have a nice day!
I was also born in 1979. On 07.23, which I read somewhere is Ice cream day.
I'm quite fine with primes and ice cream.
I was born on a prime number year, and also on a pythagorean year. :)
