3, a devil's number?



And now this to close my (spontaneously called) Trilogy of Numbers. I will talk you about the number 3. So the number 3 of the three posts is called 3. Yeah, I know, a bit lame.

Some say it's a magical number. You know what I mean: Three little pigs, Three will rock you, Snow White and the three... Wait, no!

However... In German there is a proverb which says: "Alle guten Dinge sind drei." Well, this means literally "All the good things are three". But is this really true? I would say NO!
Do you really need more evidence that 3 ISN'T ALWAYS GOOD? Well, in this case, 1 and 2 neither.







A few days ago I went to Barcelona because I had to buy many things (birthday presents, books for school, etc.), one of them: Naruto mangas. Yes, you remember? I'm a huge fan of Naruto. And I just started to collect the mangas. In fact, I bought my first one in Italy! Isn't that a nice souvenir? :D

Well, the point is, I was about to buy the third book of the series because I already have number one and two. So we went to a library in Barcelona. 1, 2, 4... so the third isn't here, OK, no problem, next one.
1, 2, what the... another then. 3rd library, the same, 4th and 5th, yes you guessed it: NOT THERE.

Everywhere I went, there were the 1st, the 2nd and the 4th manga but not the 3rd. What happened there? I mean, are there people who dedicate their life to buy ONLY the 3rd book of all manga series?
Now, my theory: The 3 is a devil's number. I mean, think about it. They always talk about 666, which are three numbers! Yeah! And now, turn the number 90° to the right, what do you see? Exactly: The devil's buttocks! Yes, you heard right, he's laughing at us with the number 3. So, I recommend you:

1. Don't give birth to your child on the 3rd day of the month (and NEVER in march). In case of emergency, try to stop your child from coming out!
2. Never put a mark to an exam which can be divided by 3! Always put the mark one number higher! If it's a 6, put a 7! If it's a 9, put a 10!
4. Never write a third advice!

So, here ends my series Trilogy of Numbers! Wait... Trilogy... Tri... of three? NOOOOOOOOO!

(children under 4 years may not read this text, basically because they haven't passed the third year of life yet. and because, usually, they can't read. 
please don't understand this as a serious post, the author hasn't got any mental disorder... really!)
