I've never had a thing for numbers. In fact, in school most numbers seemed like they were pretty odd. Once I got past 10 fingers and 10 toes I was lost.
Pairs I get, but parity is where it gets weird. The parity of an object states whether it is even or odd. An even number (like 4) is one that is evenly divisible by 2 without remainder and an odd number (like 5) is not evenly divisible by 2. Fractions like 1/2 or 4.201 are neither even nor odd. I will take this opportunity to label them 'odder'.
'Odd' in the English language is also an adjective denoting the quality of being strange or unusual.
So of course, I had to take the opportunity to try to demonstrate 'odd' in both the numerical and situational sense, where odd makes the situation improbable (the involvement of a prosthetic notwithstanding).
