Some people may say, "Four isn't that special!" If you say that, let me just warn you that you are about to be proven absolutly WRONG!

1. Pick a word, any word at all.
2. Count the number of letters in that word.
3. Count the number of letters in that number.
4. Repeat step 3, and very soon you will find yourself stuck with four.

Want to know how this works? Well, it's pretty simple. Four is the only number in the English language that has the same amount of letters as it's value. Therefore, no matter how many letters something has, it will always end up as four. This also works in German and Dutch. Try it out, you'll be amazed!
