I don't know why mrmonkeyman's reply on Chinese having something against the number 4 was downvoted into oblivion although I suspect it was because of the all-to-common knee-jerk reaction against 'racism'. What he said is true, 4 is the most unlucky number in Chinese because it sounds like the word for 'death'. Buildings in China often don’t have a 4th floor, some of them skip all floor numbers which contain '4' so they don't have a 14th or 24th etc. floor. The number 13 has also gained an ominous reputation in China so it is unlikely that help will arrive from China to combat any 13-related superstitions. PostgreSQL v8, v8.8 or (in the far far future) v88 will be popular though since 8 is the most lucky number - it sounds like the word for 'wealth'. |
