Hmm, never heard of this before. Very cool. I wonder if there's a new
kind of fractal hiding here....

Strictly speaking, I think the answer is no. If there were true structure in
the prime numbers then I wouldn't be buying things and paying bills online
anymore. Seems the mystery is that there's this much order, and not a bit
more.

Hmm,
I think the reason you pay bills online is the same as the reason you use
credit cards and telephone banking. i.e. that the banks tell you it's secure
and nothing for you to worry about. If you think banks know anything about
mathematical patterns or even elementary mathematics then you maybe want to
look up 'sub-prime' rather than 'prime' :-)

A little OT, but this article caused a blonde moment for me. I read the line, "All
prime numbers except 2 are odd numbers", and thought, "There's only one even prime
number that I know of, not two."

DOH!
