Meh. A prime number year last happened in 2011. Just kidding... happy new prime number year!

BTW I'm really looking forward to the next perfect square year: 2025 (45^2). It last happened in 1936, and won't happen again until 2116.

I'm hoping to to see the only power of two in a millennium: 2048

It would be an interesting exercise to consider the years that are a perfect square n^2 and then try to give some sort of attempt at dividing history into n segments of n years, trying to find a common theme for each segment.
