law of fives 

A Discordian concept that illustrates how easy it is to create conspiracies and imagine meaning where meaning does not, in itself, exist fnord.

According to the Principia Discordia:

"ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO 5."

The law of fives is never wrong."
Lord Omar K. Ravenhurst: "I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look."

*Everyone nods in agreement with Ben*

Max: Ok. You got me this time.
