A000001 1+n^3+n^5 is prime

[Gabriel Cunningham]

Zak,

The question is: what led you to this sequence? Were you working on
something else and this sequence came up? (For instance, are all the
solutions of some equation primes of this form?) If so, that sort of
information should be submitted as a comment when you submit the sequence.
Otherwise, the sequence is of minimal interest - why should we care about
primes of this form more than primes of any other form?

And while I agree that the OEIS is full of seemingly arbitrary sequences,
that's never an excuse to submit one more arbitrary one!

Gabe
