50 Things You Never Knew about the Number ONE

Updated on December 14, 2017

Why Number 1?

In the beginning was the Number 1.


This was followed, in short order, by the numbers 2, 3, and 4. Then came 6. It was premature and had to go back to where it came from in order for the number 5 to take it's place.

The story of Numbers is a long and fascinating one, and I highly recommend it to anyone who relates more to digits then they do to, say, people.

In the meantime, here is an exhaustive list of all the things I could find out about the Number 1, for you who have always wondered about it.

ONE is...

1. the number of " rings to rule them all.”

2. the number of times you can break an egg

3. the number of nations "under God, indivisible..."

4. the number of eyes on a Cyclops

5. the number of books by Harper Lee

6. the number of thumbs on your right hand

7. the number of colors in the flag of Libya

8. the number of wheels on a unicycle

9. the number of channels on the first television set

10. the number of times you can be born
