St. Patricks day to me has always been about green milk shakes and cheap irish food. I never understood the whole reasing behind turning rivers green or why in school you got extra perks to wear green.

So today while working I starting drifting off and looking into four leaf clovers and how common they are.

Here are some quick stats about four leaf clovers

  • 10,000 three-leaf clovers for every four-leaf clover
  • each leaflet represents something: the first is for hope, the second is for faith, the third is for love, and the fourth is for happiness
  • scientists can not explain why there is a fourth clover

    4 also isn’t a fibonacci number (1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 ect…) which makes it extra weird.
