Things that there are four of?

[Eyspire]

Hey guys,
I have an upcoming collage project that I should really start. I need to design a calender that has a theme of "four". It can apply to anything at all. e.g - four seasons..four phases of the moon...

I don't really feel like doing a cliche, so i'm hoping you someone could come up with some orignal or creative theme for things that there are four of?

Thanks

There are four classical (European) elements, there are four planets within the asteroid belt, there are four quarters to every dollar, there are four people in each of a large number of bands, there are four cardinal positions in the classic rock band format, there are four-letter words and there are four limbs on most mammals.

.... might be cool to do a CMYK diagram:

And there's always the four noble truths of Bhuddism (http://www.buddhanet.net/4noble.htm), Aristotle's The Four Causes (http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GREECE/4CAUSES.HTM), and Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms (http://www.wwnorton.com/college/history/ralph/workbook/ralprs36b.htm). There are also four Gospels in the Christian Bible and four basic operations of mathematics.

Let's not also forget that there were (eventually) four Musketeers, too! :o

I was going to say The Beatles but that's just me!

AXJ got a lot of the good ones. Let's see... There's four oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and India), four fingers on each hand if you don't count the thumb, and that's all I can come up with at the moment.
