Many of those users have equal or greater lunancy just with different numbers... Including buying or not buying specific houses due to the address or physical layout etc etc.

They have a problem with 4 though

I don't know why mrmonkeyman's reply on Chinese having something against the number 4 was downvoted into oblivion although I suspect it was because of the all-to-common knee-jerk reaction against 'racism'. What he said is true, 4 is the most unlucky number in Chinese because it sounds like the word for 'death'. Buildings in China often don’t have a 4th floor, some of them skip all floor numbers which contain '4' so they don't have a 14th or 24th etc. floor. The number 13 has also gained an ominous reputation in China so it is unlikely that help will arrive from China to combat any 13-related superstitions.

PostgreSQL v8, v8.8 or (in the far far future) v88 will be popular though since 8 is the most lucky number - it sounds like the word for 'wealth'.

Firefighters must be having a hard time locating people on burning buildings there, lol
