Number, Letter, Dinosaur

Since the third grade, I have known my favorite dinosaur, number and letter. It just came to me, and they have been my favorites ever since. I think that this trifecta will somehow play a key role in my ultimate happiness. They are very specific, and will never change. And I know that they don't really make sense, but they are what they are, and nothing can be done about it. Here goes:

Favorite number: 8



I don't know why, but I've always loved it. Something about the curves and evenness of it. Runner up favorite numbers are all multiples* of 8: 4 and then 2.

Favorite letter: B



I don't know why, but it's always been a fave. There isn't even a 'B' in my name! I think it might have something to do with the fact that it looks like an 8.

Favorite dinosaur: Brontosaurus



And NOT the bracciosaurus! Perhaps because it begins with a 'B' and when it is curled up it looks like an '8?' I don't know!

But I do know that there is something special to me about this trio. So, I ask, what is your fave number/letter/dinosaur? Maybe we're soul mates...

* I am aware that 'multiple' may not be the correct term here. Divisors? I don't remember that far back into math. Factors, maybe? 4 and 2 are factors of 8? I should probably call my little scientist bro on this one.
