The Roman version of this number is the anagram for VIXI, which means “I lived” in Latin. - In India, the number 8 is associated with 3 stars of Saturn and is said to be a relationship and overall peace breaker. - Number 0888 888 888 was actually just another telephone number in Bulgaria that was used by an ordinary 48-year-old man. Unfortunately, after some time, he died of cancer, so the number went to another man — who was shot. Strangely, it wasn't long until the third and last owner of this telephone number passed away too. - In Afghanistan, the number 39 isn't just an unlucky number — it's a full-fledged curse! This number sounds similar to the phrase “dead cow” and is usually avoided by the Afghanistan population. - The number 11 has a bad reputation in Zimbabwe only because it represents the month of November. According to popular superstition, if you get married in November, your marriage will be cursed. - In the Chinese language, the number 4 sounds pretty similar to the word “death.” That's why you’ll rarely see 4s in Chinese phone numbers, addresses, or license plates. - Just like the number 4, the number 9 can hardly be found in Japan due to the fact that it sounds a lot like the Japanese word for “torture.” - The number 7 is a common “good luck” number for the UK, France, and all the other westernized countries. - Koreans are absolutely sure that the number 3 has great vibrations and can bring you good fortune and loads of luck. - Chinese people love number 666. That's because in the Chinese language, 666 means “everything goes smoothly.” - Italians believe that number 13 brings prosperity and fortune, and they still often rely on it when it comes to gambling.
