One is the loneliest number. Tea is for two. Three's company. Four? I don't know why. But it makes for nice, symmetrical lists. Please don't be so argumentative.

I have a thing about the number four, you know, so now I HAVE to do this. Did you know that in a list based on the number four, you only tagged three people?
A ha! Per the ancient Chinese proverb or whatever it is about why printers include mistakes in their manuscripts--so the reader can feel superior. Michael, help me out. How does it go?
And what's your thing about the number four, if I may be so bold?
The Japanese character representing the number four looks like the character meaning "death," so 4 is almost never used in Japanese culture. Check out any piece of Japanese consumer electronics you might have - the product name/number will probably not have a 4 (or at least end it in). Example - the series of Denon receivers jumped from 3803 to 3805 to 3806.
Oh, and you soldered? That's awesome.
My number four thing is an OCD holdover from my obsessive childhood.
