I know the decimal system is a result of our having 10 fingers, but I wonder what are the many things that come in 3's? I know that monocot plants have flower parts in 3's, but after that I slow down. Echinoderms are in 5's, but overall it seems to me that nature both living and non-living favors the pair: bilateral symmetry, sex, electron charge, up and down quarks...
