Transcript:
Peter: Let's see... I could pack number 5, but I had that last year and I didn't play very well. I could go with lucky number 7, but then I'd be broadcasting that I thought I needed luck. I could go with 1, but that's so small... or 2, but that's so even... or 3, but that's so odd. Voice: Someone save number 13 for me. Voice: Sure thing, coach. Peter: 4 would be good, except "Rocky IV" was so lame...

Pick a number reflecting your talent, Peter – like “0.”

Who wants to tell him that 4 is considered bad luck in Japan because it uses the same word as death?

Hey 611Kwel, just remember that the next time someone yells ‘Fore!’ at the golf ‘corpse’. :-)

“Nobody should rip on Rocky IV”
Right. Why single out IV? They were all stinkers.

I have worked with native Japanese. Both the number 4 and the number 9 are considered unlucky. The Japanese have many cultural traditions that are superstitious.

He should chose one that indicates his IQ… though that would still be a low number…

@ladyfingers:
Untrue, the number four is also considered unlucky in Japan. The Japanese pronunciation of 4 can either be “yon” or “shi”. “Shi” sounding like the Japanese word for death.
