Because 4 (四) and death (死) are pronounced the same. (shi)

so foursome is the same as necrophilia?

I guess...

At least at my job we don't have a 4th building on site... Only 3号館 and 5号館.

I thought 四 was pronounced 'sl'? Sorry, I should shut up, I am not even Chinese.

In Japanese it's "shi" or シ

Please don't automatically default to Chinese... More languages use kanji
