A few interesting facts about my culture

[code red shockwave]

Here are a few interesting facts from my culture(Chinese, that is):

1. The number four is considered unlucky because in Chinese, four means death.

2. The color black is considered to be an "evil" color(also associated with death).

3. Giving a clock to some Chinese is considered a curse, because a clock is a symbol with the hidden message that "your time is running out".

Interesting stuff, isn't it?

Wow, so have you ever got a watch as a gift?

What if I got a watch for my birthday that was black,and the watch was at 4:44? I think I'd be in trouble!

Is that why there aren't many chinese clock makers?

you forgot writing a letter in red, means "I'M gonna kill ya"

But didn't Chinese artists way back in the day only paint in black and said "black is 10 colors" and loved black?
