Japanese Superstitions

And as a sort of tribute to him I took I did a bit of research into the few Japanese superstitions about death. The Deadly “4” The first thing I found while researching was that the number 4 (四) in Japanese and death (死) are both pronounced “shi”, because of the verbal similarities, the number 4 is considered bad luck, it’s taken so seriously that even in some building’s, the elevator’s don’t list the 4th floor as the 4th floor, it just skips it and it becomes the 5th floor.

Born to a family of redneck farmers from Tennessee, Alvin York spent much of his youth getting piss drunk in bars and getting into crazy barfights. When his friend got killed in one of the aforementioned barfights, he swore off the liquor, and became a pacifist. When he received his draft notice in 1917, York filed as a "conscientious objector" but was denied. They shipped his ass out to basic training.
