My Theory Of 4's

[80s Child]

With tomorrow being 11-11-11, it got me thinking about #s and their symetry/significance. Then I remembered this list I started over on joecustoms last year (and had help from the members there growing it). It started out as how I noticed things in our pop-culture (especially from the 1980s) occuring in 4s, then it sort of just expanded those boundries from there. It's quite a long list, so you may not want to bother with it unless you have a cup of coffee and 5 extra minutes to waste - but look it over if you have the time/interest and see if maybe you can come up with any that I/we didn't think of: :)
