[Blackadder]

Some trivial contemplation about prime numbers:

Well, I try to be positive more often.

And it's also divisible by 31+6i and by 31-6i. What a complex situation!

[Stargate38]

Don't forget -31+6i, -31-6i, 6+31i, 6-31i, -6+31i, and -6-31i.

I added proper definitions to the article; all the clever replies are now void .

Yes—Ode to 889; https://www.cynicusrex.com/file/889.html.

889.

A number that will never be prime.

No matter its yearning for mathematics heaven,

889 will forever be divisible by one hundred twenty-seven.

Composite, not even capable of numbing its woes with wine,

forever living in the shadow of its parents—divine.

If positive, flapping your tongue like that certainly isn't going to help contain the virus.
