Why 37 reasons the whole time? Is there a reason for that? Did I miss something? (More than likely :D) Would someone please tell me?

Because 37 is such a nice uneven number that cannot be divided by anything except itself and one, if you want to have an even number as outcome. It is a somewhat ugly number due to its unevenness and it may just be totally random. It's not too many and too few "facts" so just about good to list something.

These are called "prime numbers"
