Oh no, not again!

The Rubber Chicken having his revenge was so improbable that he was turned into a bowl of lemons wrapped around a large gold brick. Afterwards, when being interviewed by the Leopard, he was heard to say, "Oh no, not again!"

Seven.

Well, it is time again for some blogging thereapy.

For some reason, I was feeling total S#!T this morning. Instead of my usual course of action - physical activity - I decided to resort to thinking about conspiracy theories somehow centred around my two areas of expertise: Mathematics and Philosophy.

Granted, not an easy thing to do...

The number SEVEN has always struck me as very odd, so now I shall provide you all with some of my reasons behind this belief. Let me know what you think.

Seven Days of the Week:

(I don't need to name them do I???)

Seven Deadly Sins:

Anger
Covetousness
Envy
Gluttony
Lust
Pride
Sloth

Seven Holy Virtues:

Faith
Fortitude
Hope
Justice
Charity
Prudence
Temperence

Seven Wonders of the world:

Colossus of Rhodes
Hanging gardens of Babylon
Pharos of Alexandria
Pyramids of Egypt
Statue of Zeus
Temple of Artemis
Tomb of Mausolus

And now for some slightly more bizarre ones (yes, I am an odd individual)

7 of the 12 Zodiac signs are animals:

Pisces (fish)
Taurus (bull)
Aries (ram)
Scorpio (scorpion)
Cancer (crab)
Leo (lion)
Capricorn (goat)

And seven of the zodiac symbols are symmetric (just trust me!)

Pisces
Aquarius
Taurus
Libra
Aries
Gemini
Cancer (different type of symmetry, granted, but symmetry nonetheless)


The properties of 1/7th as a decimal are also interesting, but to discuss them here would probably drive a few people insane!

May you all continue to enjoy the company of chickens.

To continue the theme of the Mersenne prime; ROYGBIV; the number of layers in the Mayan sky and the number of planets in the Babylonian heavens. It is also the supposed number of Mary's joys and of her sorrows in Christianity. The number of hills in Rome; the 7 year itch; 7 years bad luck; the 7 lives of an Iranian cat (lucked out there); and poor old logical vulcans are only sexually active once every seven years.

Forgot the fun snow white would have had with her seven little men.
