The cardinal numbers of the year, from one to twelve, hold cultural significance and play a role in various customs and traditions worldwide. In many cultures, the number seven is considered lucky, while twelve often symbolizes completeness or a full cycle. As the ancient philosopher Heraclitus mused, "You could not step twice into the same river." This quote reminds us that, just like cardinal numbers represent the progression of time, each moment in a year is unique and unrepeatable. Now, for a playful number joke: Why was the number six afraid of the number seven?
Because 7, 8 (ate), 9!
