Never had I thought to check, but my SS# is prime. Are there many 9 digit prime #s?

HA! you lucky bastard. (nerd envy rears it’s ugly head)

There is actually a way to show what the statistical average distribution of primes is in a range of numbers. I think wikipedia has good information about it. The bigger the number, the less primes are around it, generally speaking though.
