If I remember correctly, 777 is significant from a Biblical perspective as well.

I've turned away three people already...had it booked since last october.
P.S The Bach Parties are usually the weekend before. Nobody wants to be hungover for their birthday. Plus everyone can tell at the wedding. It's hilarious.

I know, ha-ha marriage is horrible, but I've never been married so I want to know honestly...
Does EVERYONE wind up regretting getting married? Are there any people who remain happy with their spouse or is this truly considered the Universal Bad Decision?

This is in some way related to the Jesus. I can feel it in my bones. My spidey sense is tingling, or I have another herpes flare up, either way it means there is a Jesun story on the way.

EGGBERT - Its kinda like growing up . It sounds like a great idea , its fun while your doing it , but after it happens you kinda look back and wish you didn't . Its not always terrible but you miss the things you used to do . You can try to go back but its never the same .

I run a video production company in the bay area (CA - Simply Interactive) and well over half the requests coming into our studio are for 7-7-7.

Kinda makes for a slow year :-(

Actually, that's the way dates are written in the military; day, month, year.

Best day to get married. Any leap year Feb 29. That way you only have to celebrate every 4 years. And once in a while they skip that too.

I predict in coming days an article about mothers delaying/rushing pregnancies so babies are botn on 7/7/07.

Kind of like 6/6/06 - a day when mothers were doing the same so their babies weren't born on that date.

Any one else have Fark hiccup?

"The requested URL /cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=2550617 on server forums.fark.com took a dump all over itself when it was running.

Either one of us screwed up a CGI script, or someone spilled beer on the server again. Try again in a few, and we might have it fixed."

7 = number of celestial bodies (not including fixed stars) visible to the human eye

That's why the Bible likes it so much. Along with basically every other work of mysticism before or since. Oh right, and calendars. It may be the most important number in cultural history.

(That was directed at everybody here with a July 6 birthday. It's 8 AM, dammit.)
 
2007-01-19 08:09:21 AM
Nothing to do with the article but really the date ought to be written year month day... Most significant position to least significant like any other numerical value.

Not at all, but it's a good source of humor. Kind of like parents complaining about having kids when they really love them. (Especially since you can sell them for drugs)

I would recommend that one get married on an easy-to-remember date so you don't forget your anniversary. Mine is 7/11, and that has saved my bacon more than a few times.

In the Canadiam military, we use yyyy-mm-dd
It's the most sensible way to do it
