4
Overview[edit]
The number 4 was born shortly after 3 and before 5. The number 4 goes in many guises, including but not limited to: 4, IV, four, and vier. According to 4 itself, the number 4 prefers its German name "vier" over its other names because it sounds like the English "fear." Little else is known about 4, except that it is purported to have a membership in the NRA and be a major consumer of outdoor recreation goods.
