Literature

Odd and Even According to Pythagoras, by the number of syllables in a man's name, the side of his infirmity may be predicted: odd being left, even being right.
Thus, to give only one or two examples: Nelson (even) lost his right arm and right eye. Raglan (even) lost his right arm at Waterloo. The fancy is quite worthless, but might afford amusement on a winter's night. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
