So, is true? Is it everywhere? Everything? Does it stalk you? Is it one of those numbers that for a second you think isnt seven until you realize that it is seven?

I have several friends who hate the number seven and are paranoid of it.

That's why I picked my lucky number to be 13.

Omigosh! I just realized that there are SEVEN days in every week!

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHHHH!

I wish. I'd deposit $100 in my savings account every day. Best return ever!

Posted by RackhamsRazor (Member # 5254) on :

Is this really a topic of discussion?

Posted by Sm34rZ (Member # 8609) on :

Don't you realize that your post has SEVEN words in it!?

:-)

Seriously though, it's pretty common theme in some video games. Heck, almost all games from BUNGIE (i.e. HALO) feature sevens, especially an old shooter series they made called Marathon.

Also, I know the number occurs a lot in the scriptures(God creates the world in six days, rests on the seventh, etc), and that in Hebrew the number 7 represents perfection.

Seventh post! [Razz]

Posted by The Reader (Member # 3636) on :

You get the seventh post and you can do is stick your tongue out? That deserved a [Evil Laugh]

. You should be ashamed.

Posted by Sm34rZ (Member # 8609) on :

Your post contains 21 words which is a multiple of . . . SEVEN!!!

Oh, and [Razz]

I chose 8 as my number. Well rounded, very balanced.

and it one ups seven.

Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :

Nope. 17, 21, 43. Tons of better numbers out there to be unlucky. 7 just sounds so cliche.

What's weird is my lucky number is 23. So it peeved me off when they did the movie, because... I dunno, it's my lucky number. When we were down in Vegas eating at a restaurant, they had that game where they randomly put some numbers up (1-100) and you try to guess which ones. (Plinko?) Either way, when I'd watch it, I consistently guessed when 23 appeared. Now, it wasn't by skill or a pattern, it was by luck, hence it being my lucky number.

Wife: "What's your lucky number?"
Me: "e".
Wife: "What?"
Me: "Never mind. Pass the salt."

Oh, and

If you spell the number 21, your post has fourteen words, another multiple of seven. [Taunt]

Oh my god it is like everything is made of numbers like in that Darren Aronofsky movie.

Posted by gsim1337 (Member # 10168) on :

Hmm, I don't have a lucky or unlucky number, but I do dispise the number 81. Try finding something to do with 7 in this post [Taunt]

what is it about 17 21 and 43? they just seem to fit.

It is a strange sensation with certain numbers. I always look at numbers and try to decipher them and rearrange them and combine the numbers in different ways to find patterns. I like 43 in particular. It is a unique type of number.

Posted by RunningBear (Member # 8477) on :

I like e.

I bet you if you pick any number, especially a single digit number, you'll see it A LOT EVERYDAY.

Tomorrow, I pick 8.

Let's see... how about 8-1=7? (the 8 and the 1 are coming from 81).
