Under 10, I am prejudiced against odd integers, slightly, and toward the even ones, slightly. I think of the even ones as more earnest and bookish, like they would have been more likely to have grown up watching Mr. Rogers.

2,4,6,8

The odd ones look like they are laughing, though, which is nice, but they watched Batman.

1,3,5,7,9

That's what I see in them anyway. I think it would be cool to be a synaesthete, but I'm not -- although I'm not sure how much of it is connected to numbers.

In general, I'm more fond of primes, so that leads me to odd numbers. Maybe I'm just odd.

"I'm a slave for you" is the hottest number I've seen in a long time. I won't deny it...I'm not trying to hide it.
