Beginning of the end or end of the beginning

Well, I'm not a big fan of prime numbers. I know as a math teacher I should love all numbers equally, like children, or whatever, but prime numbers bug me.  They aren't very useful and they're annoying to factor!  In fact, you can't really, so it means you need to use the quadratic formula, after spending time trying to factor.  Yes, it's silly, but come on! 

2014 is composite.   Lovely.  Even.  Balanced.   Just how I would like the new year to go!
