The flag of New Mexico depicts the Zia sun symbol. It represents the four cardinal directions, the four seasons of the year, the four periods of each day (morning, noon, evening, and night), and the four seasons of life (childhood, youth, middle age, and old age).

In Chinese culture, the number 4 is considered unlucky because it sounds like the word for death.

In Chinese culture, the number 14 is also considered unlucky because it sounds like "want to die". This is why Chinese buildings generally skip the number 14 when numbering floors.

Running import this in the Python coding language will output a poem by software engineer Tim Peters titled "The Zen of Python" as follows:
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

The word "Harshad" comes from a Sanskrit word meaning "joy-giver."

Despite Sanskrit being classified as a classical language, and having been used for over 3,500 years, it is considered endangered. One place in India exclusively speaks Sanskrit to try to preserve it.

Kittens can be right- or left-pawed, the same way people are right- or left-handed.

Tasmanian devils can give birth to 20-50 babies, but the mother only has 4 teats, meaning only 4 babies will survive. The newborn babies are also hairless and extremely tiny, smaller than a quarter.
