why even numbers are better

John Doe

Every number added to itself yields an even number.
There is never an "odd one out" with even numbers.
Even numbers are divisible by two.
There is only one prime even number.
Even numbers won't murder you in your sleep.

I have no idea what to say... but just to let you know...

this did make me smile.

Even numbers are so boring. Because they are even.

Odd numbers are odd and hence by their oddity they are more interesting. Give me an odd one every time, baby!

You're kind of odd yourself, John.

I should make this a poll about who likes odd numbers better and who likes even numbers better.

7 and 3 are odd numbers.

I think 8 may be the best number in existence.

okay, this is an odd thread

I suspect I'm not getting the full meaning of this thread, but I am going to dive in anyway because I like numbers :-)

Individual numbers aren't that interesting to me (with the exceptions of special ones perhaps, such as exceptionally large prime numbers, or pi, or 2 simply because it is the "oddest prime" LOL). Patterns and relationships amongst numbers, on the other hand, are an entirely different story. Witness the beauty of the Fibonacci series as an endlessly elegant example:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, ...

(Did I kill the thread? Sorry LOL)

I like even numbers myself. I always buy 2 of things. I like pairs of things.
