If you're being serious, don't sweat it. It totally makes sense when you realize it, but few people look at it that way.

Im serious, thank you. I grew up rural, probably why I never heard it. Now i know of the house numbering scheme. Figures they would do that, major highways do the even (east/west), odd (north/south).
