Ever wonder what is the origin of these playing cards?
Ever wonder why so much things can be done with only 52 cards?
Ever be amazed by the invention of poker cards??
Did a little research on poker cards
And am amazed by all the facts:
How many cards are there in a deck, excluding joker?
52
Does 52 sounds a lil familiar to u guys?
Yes, 52 weeks a year
And if you add up all the name of each cards in words, ACETWOTHREEFOURFIVESIXSEVENEIGHTNINETENJACKQUEENKINGS
You'l get 52...
How many suits are there in a deck?
4
And yes, there are 4 seasons in the year, and 13 cards per suit, which means 13 weeks in each season
And if you total up all the value of each card in the deck, Ace=1, Jack= 11, Queen = 12, King = 13
You'le get 365, doenst sound right? yes, 365 days in a year!
2 colours in the deck, black n red, representing the day and the night
12 picture cards, 12 months in a year
Everything's so interrelated...So much like Da vinci's principles...
Besides that, Ever wondered why is the King of Hearts has no moustache ?
It is not because he is young or what, it is caused by an accident, not by the king himself but the craftman who accidently broke the moustache in the mould, and the mould became a model for all other poker cards, so KingoHearts remained young but not happy...
Why? dont you see him poking his head with the sword?
He must be dam sad to be cacated!
