Why 7? Why was it the fascination of the giant moron?

Why 13? Supposed to be from the last supper but isnt it lucky that Jesus died for our sins?
One number is the same as the next, no better no worse.

Actualy, lots of people put alot of value in numbers - especialy the Jews with their Qabbalah. I've not studied it realy as I am both lazy and terrible at mathematics, it's used a lot though, for all sorts of things. Don't diss it! :p

I didnt say numbers or maths arent good just that one number shouldnt be placed above another.

Hmm... well they have different values (not just numerical values), but I suppose they are all essentialy equal. Except the number 5 is the best... :p

I've found numerology to be frighteningly accurate...but I can't figure out why.

The figure seven has numerous superstitions associated with it and is regarded as both a mystic and lucky number. The origin lies in the dim distant past and, of course, the creation of the world itself was said to have taken seven days: indeed, one need only turn to the Old Testament to find numerous reference to its importance. In everyday life, a seventh child is said to be lucky, while the seventh son of a soeventh son will not only be double blessed but can cure disease and-according to the Scots-is possessed of second sight and has the ability to tell the future. There is also a widespread belief that if a person's birth date is divisble by seven, then he will be lucky. In Britain there is a quaint superstition that seems to lend some weight to that phrase about the "seven-year itch," for there are people who claim that every seven years a person's personality undergoes a complete change. This superstition is related to the expression often used by parents about troublesome offspring. That he or she will change when they are older-for example the difficult child of seven becoming a model fourteen-year-old! Interestingly, while this book was being written, the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventy-seventh year of the century took place, with a number of circumstances occuring which are worth recording. Aside from the quite considerable number of people who celebrated their seventy-seventh birthday on that day(including a Mrs. Elizabeth Severn of Yorkshire), a child was born in Adelaide, Australia at 77 A.M weighing exactly 7 lbs. 7 ozs. At lunchtime, the Financial Index in London was down 7.7. A cricket enthusiast noted that the test match between England and Australia commenced on what was the seventy-seventh day of the Australians' tour and in the seventy-seventh over, batsman K. D. Walters took hsi score to 77. His partern was R. W. Marsh-batting number seven. And just to top the day off, the highest temperature recorded in London was 77 degrees Fahrenheit.

What's this all about? Couldn't guess from the starting post...

The one association I have with the number 7 is as a sort of poem:
Se7en: A constrained ephemeron: 7x2 sentences of the first thoughts that enter your mind.

Basically the fascination with 7 that exists, both in religious things such as the Bible(Seven days), as well as outside of the Bible(such as Lucky 7).

Ever think that God might just have a sence of humor? The way numerology works out somtimes... The way some things in reliegon are strangly similar.

Considering a week consists of seven days it's not uncommon. The number is quite prominent in everyday life even at an early age. It's also the longest word when counting from 1 to 10, to a young child, because it has 2 syllables.

to some, the number three is a much more revered number...

*Pulls out the book*
The number three features largely in superstition, though there is much more good luck attached to it than bad. For many centuries it has been held that luck is to be found in odd numbers, particularly three and three times three, and the read needs no reminding of the number of events in everyday life that have to be performed three times. Most folk remedies require part of the ritual to be performed three times, and when giving acclaim to anyone we always call for "three cheers." In contrats, of course, the tax man will always ask us for our dues three times before taking action! The bad-luck superstition attached to this number has best been summed up by the phrase "One disappointment is followed by two others," used in Britain, and, "Bad things happen in threes," in America. The number earned its bad-luck element, it is said, because Peter denied Christ three times, while another explanation for its good luck is the fact that it is a mystical, powerful number and that as birth needed three people-mother, father and child-the number came to symbolize life itself.

personally my favorite number is nine...it's so versatile.
