I just cleaned up the "In other fields" section a bit, including rearranging some parts, alphabetizing, and splitting the "Six is:" list into two lists: one for things described by the word six or the numerical value 6 alone, and one for stuff known by names containing the word six or just generally more complicated descriptions that couldn't easily be fit into the "six is" framework.
