There may be something to it. It does seem more lucky than coincidence would indicate

There is a huge "7" craze over Saturday, which will be 7/7/07. What do you think?

I think it's neat when the days end up all one number like that, but I'm not one to think it's lucky or anything. Of course, it used to take me forever to do math problems in elementary school because I was too busy playing around with the numbers... so take that for what it's worth.

If 7/7/07 is lucky, wouldn't that mean 7/7/77 was even more lucky (and for the evangelicals who equate it to some significance, wouldn't that mean even more covental)?

What about next year, is there a significance to 8/8/08? But the real question is whether or not pigs are really gonna fly on 12/12/12. wink.gif

My lucky number's 13. biggrin.gif

This year is special...I was born on Friday the 13th, and my birthday comes up on Friday the 13th again.

So, Euphie, would it be accurate to state that your age is some multiple of 7?

It's about as significant as June 6th of last year being 666.

I love passion fruit juice!

What the heck is numerology? Is that like an apostate group of scientology? wink.gif

Me too.  But there is a lot of Hebrew numerology in the temple.

 Numerology is usually associated with the occult. It is the belief that certain numbers have mythological significance. For instance, I don't remember which number it is, but there is a number called "The Hangman". It is a bad omen. That reminds me of a tech support story. This lady calls in for tech support on her new computer, which has been having problems. The guy answering the phone asks her for the serial number. She's confused until he explains to her that each computer has a unique number printed on it. With the tech support guy's help she finds the number. She then says, "Oh, that's the problem. The serial number has the hangman in it." The tech support guy is now confused. The lady explains that she waited until a date with no bad numbers in it, and used a check with a propitious number, so that there would be no problems with the computer. But since it had that bad serial number on it, of course it wouldn't work.

So, it is kind of like astrology but with numbers, and L. Ron Hubbard had nothing to do with creating it in conjunction with his sci-fi novels.  That explains why Tom Cruise hasn't been extoling the virtues of math classes!

Well, that explains why the evangelicals are so dead set we're a cult... the temple is full of Hebrew numerology symbology...  wink.gif

So, had the lady called a help desk in India?  That can explain a lot more problems than a serial number.  rofl.gif

Many Christians practice a form of numerology. You've heard, I'm sure, of the people who won't use anything, such as credit cards, that has the number 666 on it.
In fact, the occult is very popular amongst many christians. They go to palm readers, they read their horoscope daily, and go to spiritual mediums.

 Yup...or rather, it will be after Friday the 13th. smile.gif  Probably not too hard to guess which multiple either.  wink.gif


Oh...and I use palm readers too.  Or I did.  Until my kids dropped it in the floor and broke the screen.

Abraham was really into numerology. Astrology, too. What a whackjob.
