Description

There are 5 appendages on a starfish,

5 lines in a pentagram,

We can "plead the fifth" in court,

In the child's nursery rhyme titled Monday's Child, the 5th child is: "Friday's child is loving and giving,"

The 5th sign in Western Astrology is Leo, the lion.

There are 5 elements in Chinese astrology: wood, fire, earth, metal & water & an element is associated with each sign. Personally, I'm a Snake with the fixed element of fire.

According to some traditions of Mayan mythology, we are now living in the Fifth World.

There's "The Fifth Element" starring Bruce Willis

Maroon 5 won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2005.

There's The Jackson 5, We Five, Five for Fighting, The Jive Five, MC5, ( which is short for Motor City 5), and last, but certainly not least.....

The Dave Clark Five. !!!! Yay !!!


Your turn. =p

I also went to wikipedia for five factoids:

*five = the 5th Fibonacci number
*equations of degree 5 and higher cannot generally be so solved
*Five is also the number of Platonic solids [Tetrahedron, Cube (or hexahedron), Octahedron, Dodecahedron, and Icosahedron (here's a pic: [link])...and check out farther down the page how they were associated with the 5 Greek elements
*the Pentagon
*the Pentium pc

Interestingly for fontography: "While the shape of the 5 character has an ascender in most modern typefaces, in typefaces with text figures the character usually has a descender, as, for example, in:" number under 'Evolution of Glyph'.

I remember when studying paleontology how pentaradial symmetry of echinoderms was mystically astounding...I was a bit obsessed with crinoids...though I don't remember learning the following (though I may have forgotten it?):
"Although adult echinoderms possess pentaradial, or five-sided, symmetry, echinoderm larvae are ciliated, free-swimming organisms that organize in a bilaterally symmetric fashion that makes them look like embryonic chordates. Later, the left side of the body grows at the expense of the right side, which is eventually absorbed." [link] Maybe this is why most people are right-handed, since our left side dominates, including the left side of the brain, back to some sort of echinoidal pentaradial evolutionary precursor?!?

Okay...this took 5-squared minutes.
