Number:3 (Meta, no ontology)

From Compile Worlds

Three is the most common magic number. Because it is so awesome, some guy even said it was THE magic number, as in, the one to rule them all.

Three is a crappy approximation to pi, but some retards go as far as to say that three is actually just four in disguise.
