There's something weird going on with the number 5 in pop culture right now...

So I think we've uncovered something big. I'm kind of nervous to share it, because I don't want the Illuminati to come after me. But I also feel like people need to know about this, so I'm taking the risk.

Have you noticed how many times the number five has appeared in pop culture lately? Because I have. It's everywhere, and there's no escaping it. It's the fifth season of "House of Cards." It's the fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. And there's so much more. I'm here to break down exactly what this means (and it involves pentagrams and the Illuminati).
