Stephen Lopez“Romans considered odd numbers to be lucky and even numbers unlucky.”
I was researching why September, October, November, and December were our 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th months respectively, when seemingly they should be 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th based on their roots words of Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.
That lead me to the Wikipedia page for the Roman Calendar. Lo-and-behold, the Romans liked odd numbers and hated even numbers. Just like I do, as revealed in my Seven Things, item #7.
I’m a goddamn Roman!
