Various occupations agree, all odd numbers are prime.

Mathematician: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, and 7 is prime. By induction, all the odd integers are prime.

Physicist: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is experimental error, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, 15 is experimental error, 17 is prime, 19 is prime. The empirical evidence is overwhelming.

Engineer: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is a good approximation, 11 is prime...

Architect: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, the engineers will figure out how to make 9 prime, 11 is prime, ...

Accountant: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime; uh, did you really need 9 to be prime? Because I could shift 2 more into this account and you'll have 11 which is prime, ...

Chemist: 3 is prime, 5 is prime... hey, let's publish!

Psychologist: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is latently prime but repressing it, 11 is prime, ...

Quantum field theorist using renormalization: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is...uh, 9/3 is prime, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, 15 is...uh, 15/3 is prime, 17 is prime, 19 is prime...

College Professor: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime. The rest are left as an exercise for the student.

Confused Undergraduate: Let p be any prime number larger than 2. Then p is not divisible by 2, so p is odd. QED.

Computer Scientist: 10 is prime, 11 is prime, 101 is prime...

Economist: Assume 9 is prime...
 
Mythbusters: Some people think 4 is prime. We divide it by 2 and it doesn't explode! Therefore all odd numbers are prime. (What do you mean "one data point isn't enough?")

Cultural Marxist: The fact that nine is not prime indicates a deprived cultural environment which can only be remedied by a federally funded cultural enrichment program.

Conservative: What's nine got against being prime? I'll bet it won't allow the pledge of allegiance to be said in our schools either. Also, it wants the terrorists to win.
Creationist: Only ungodly Darwinists believe One, that which is Unity, is not prime.

Rationalist: The hypothesis that all odd numbers greater than one are prime has stood up to scrutiny. Experimenters distributing clusters of bananas noted a statistically significant elevation in baboon fatalities when the number of bananas is 3, 5, or 7.

Liberal: It means nothing to say that a number is prime: any number can be redistributed.

Theologist: God, being omnipotent, can make any number prime if He so chooses.

Fundamentalist: Every odd number greater than one is prime. For example, consider nine. Since Pi is equal to three (Chronicles 4:2 “a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim... thirty cubits did compass it round about”), nine is equal to Pi squared - an irrational number. As it is not a composite number, it must be prime.

Meteorologist: 3 is clearly prime. If you add one, it becomes non-prime. If you add one again, it goes back to being prime. We predict that 7 and 9 will be prime.

Climatologist: Ancient mathematical records suggest that 3 was prime. Based on the clear trend of alternating between prime and non-prime, computer simulations extrapolate that 37,541 will be prime.

Hypnotist: Prime numbers are those not divisible by 2... And you're back in the room!

RationalWiki: The numbers 3, 5, and 7 have been shown to be prime. Further odd numbers will be submitted to the mob for up or down voting, and any number receiving 50 or more "up" votes will be added to RationalWiki:Best of Prime Numbers.

I think my head is coming loose...

There's smart
And then there's
Kmart smart.
 



Hmm... maybe thinking of getting a kindle or maybe putting books on my pad.



I thought only girls use pads.

LOL at the Computer scientist! I liked that one.

But you know prime numbers are divisable by 1 and themselves.

So 9 being divisable by 3 makes it not prime and is actually a perfect square. Like 25 another odd number not prime.

What was this all about?

Nerd humor.   Like:

Person A: I can lift 10,000 grams.
Person B: So what?  That's only 22 pounds.
Person A: It sounds more impressive the way I said it.

Even 10,000 grams sounds like...

Weak.
