Since I learned that Sheldon's favorite number (from "The Big Bang Theory") is 73, I've become very fond of 37 ... also a prime number, like its twin 73.

13. It's my birthday.

I think it's funny that people are superstitious about 13.
The number 13 is said to bring bad luck. Thus, in some hotels, there is no room #13. In the same vein, there’s sometimes no 13th floor in buildings, and, in some streets, there are no houses numbered thirteen.

I think it's fun to defy superstitions.

And I like it when my birthday falls on Friday the 13th.

In Numerology, the number 13 is associated with the divine, and is said to bring good luck and prosperity to those who embrace it. Not that I'm into numerology.

Many believe that the Number 13 has the ability to bring about change which can often lead to having a positive outlook.

Also known as the 'Angel Number' in some cultures it symbolizes leading with love and compassion. and remaining positive in the face of negativity. The Number 13 is also a symbol of being passionate about one's ambitions, and aiding in finding future successes.

The moon covers on the average thirteen degrees per day and there are thirteen lunations in the year.

I've always hated odd numbers, specifically 3 and 13. So it was only logical I'd pick an even number as my favourite.

4 has always been my lucky number, despite what it means for many Asian People!

[AviatorTom]

@TommyMountainFigure I know what you mean. If you say the number 4 in Mandarin Chinese with the wrong accent, it sounds like "death".

[TommyMountainFigure]

@AviatorTom Exactly.. That was in fact something I learned on this site!

[TommyMountainFigure]

Thanks Tom for MHO

[StarWarGirl]

1 is my favorite number. Because it's special. Because everyone wants to be number one so everyone keeps chasing it but same time as you mentioned this is also loneliest number. This is the number which get chaged the most, desired the most but still it's always alone. The person who holds the crown of this place barely has any true friends or true admirer but mostly they have sweet mouthing people opportunitist etc. And still it's special because it's 1st because of a reason.

So it's my most favourite.

[sage2021]

I hate Friday the 13th and here's why.
When my son was 18 he contracted bacterial meningitis, a heart infection, blood poisoning, and double pneumonia and was on life support and had to have emergency open heart surgery.

It started Friday the 13th and lasted 76 days. He lived thanks to Jesus Christ.

@AvaitorTom
So, you gave someone a like because her favorite number is 666 THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
Well, that just changed my mind about you!
I thought you were a nice guy too. What a disappointment.😶

[sage2021]

Thank you 😊 for the MHO

My Florida DL#, because it is the longest number that I have memorized. And - of course - I will not post that number publicly.

[AviatorTom]

@OlderAndWiser I memorized Pi to 30 decimal places for extra credit in High School Math class. I can no longer do that... I run out of steam after 3.141592653

[OlderAndWiser]

I never got beyond 3.14159. That's close enough if I ever need to use the number in a calculation.

[zeitgeist057]

CA DLs are one alphabet + 7 numbers = 8 , but SSN is 9 numbers. Also a phone number is 10. So have you not memorized a phone number or your SSN? Or are Florida DLs extra long?

[OlderAndWiser]

@zeitgeist057 13 alphanumeric characters

[Zenpanda]

I have many, but if I have to chose only one I'll go for
42, Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
As calculated over a period of 7.5 million years, by supercomputer Deep Thought.
It's from a book and later a movie called "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy".
My other favorite numbers are:
3, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 19, 21, 26, 33.
Just because I like them, no real reason.
And as for a specific number sequence:
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. Hurley's numbers from Lost.

My favorite number is 14... I first wore it playing fast ball. It meant nothing to me until my Dad told me about Dave Keon the hockey great wore 14. After that I always requested 14 in ringette, volleyball and baseball. Recently my favorite F1 driver chose 14 for his personal number... Fernando Alonso. 14 all the way!

[exitseven]

404.. I had an uncle that used to play 404 in the number pool. Thi was before states had the lotteries. So when people ask me for an invoice number or some other number I just say 404. It turns out that 404 is really what is called an Angel Number. If you see 404 in your daily life it is the angels protecting you.

[loves2learn]

I like lucky number 7 and how it looks. I put. Cross through mine. Been my favorite number since Jr. High. 😇

[loves2learn]

*a cross sheesh

[Chazmatazz269]

13, because a lot of people seem to think it’s unlucky. It’s also a prime number. I have an affinity for those.

[IslaTheWitch]

21, as long as I remember, this number worked for me :D

maybe it's 3 * 7... and both numbers are considered as lucky in Europe?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It's always number 7. Why? No clue, just always liked it.

[LaurenM1997]

22 because it’s my lucky number also it’s the date of my birthday in January

[RetroReviews]

7, God rested on the 7th day after he created everything. He called it holy, known as the Sabbath to believers. Also my favorite football player of all time wore #7 John Elway

[dolemite58]

24, it was Charles woodson’s jersey number he was so fun to watch play when he was still in the nfl.

[ApplePie409]

Tommy Boy, it's 8675309

It is 5. I feel drawn to it. 5, 15, 55. But mostly 5.

[skidawgkc22]

Joke answer: 37. (I'M 37?)

Actual answer: 22, which was my jersey number playing high school football.

[msc545]

I like 9. Multiply any number by 9, and then add the resulting numbers together and you will get 9 again. Like this:

5*9 = 45, and 4+5 = 9

474*9 = 4266 and 4+2+6+6 = 18 and 8+1 = 9

This seems to work for any number.

[lightbulb27]

Infinite zero.

It's where everything began before it was something...

[Jrg98]

38 my bra band 🤣🤣

[Anonymous]

I've always liked the # 12, because of it's divisibility. (better than the # 10). I've often wished that Base 12 is what we had rather than what we have (Base 10)

[Phoenix98]

7 as for why? Well if you know you know.

[Booklover_90]

I like even numbers and no, I can’t explain it. 😂

[Kathy1111]

my is 13 i like it a good number

[dreamstar72]

Hope it’s good. See my daughter got a house last month. She fell in love with the house I liked it. Guess she never paid attention to the house number until she signed the loan. Then she saw it was “13” she goes oh well that’s life. Maybe it will be a good thing. Sorry for bothering you with this

[dean53AU]

My lucky number

[dreamstar72]

Good luck with that number hope all of your dreams come true

[NathanDavis]
