the power of the #7

In addition to all all of the above, it also commonly occurs between the numbers 6 and 8. How's that for a coincidence?

only if you obey the laws of maths. After all many American buildings don't have a 13th floor.

Many American politicians haven't a clue, for that matter. That doesn't stop them forming a government--just what's your point OAK?

Don't forget the seventh son of the seventh son is supposed to have special powers or some such.

I work on the 14th floor. If I walk down one flight, I'll be on the 12th.


Silly.

Apparently, there's an air pocket between us that can be called the 13th floor.

Silly.

set. I didn't mention politicians. I was merely wondering why #7 had certain meanings re. luck/power

I know, Boss, i was just bein' silly . . .

set --- you are forgiven. just write out 100 times

Everywhere I go, OAK. Music just repeats and repeats in my ears.

At a railroad station most any time of day,
You'll see Rufus Johnson just gamblin his dough away.
Down on his knees with a dotted eye for ease,
You can hear old Rufus say.

Seven, come eleven,
Means everything to me.
Means I'm gonna see my Mammy.
Down in Southern Alabammy.

Means a hat and shoes.
Means I'll lose my blues
Means an overcoat and cane.

Means I'll have my fare,
A little bit to spare,
Means I on that midnight train..

Come on you...
Seven, come eleven..
Oh, Lord won't that be nice..

I'll be on my merry way back to heaven
With my Dixie pair of dice.
(That's paradise, bro)

Yes, i do remember, OAK, and Kookie Burns and his comb, as well . . .

Ssshhh, don't anybody tell Eh! she's really on the 13th floor, she might get spooked...

One two three four five six seven!
Said the Alligator King to his seven sons,
"I'm feelin' mighty down.
Whichever of you can cheer me up
Will get to wear my crown."

His first son brought seven oyster pearls
From the bottom of the China Sea.

The second gave him seven statues of girls
With clocks where their stomachs should be.

The third son gave him seven rubies
From the sheikdom Down There Beneath.
The King thought the rubies were cherries,
And he broke off seven of his teeth.

The fourth son tried to cheer him up
With seven lemon drops.
The King said, "I'm sorry son,
Since that ruby episode, I just haven't got the chops."

The fifth son brought the King perfume
In seven fancy silver jars;
The King took a whiff, and he broke out in spots
'Cause it smelled like cheap cigars.

The sixth son gave him seven diamond rings
To wear upon his toes.
The King snagged his foot on the royal red rug
And crumpled up his nose.

The seventh son of the Alligator King
Was a thoughtful little whelp.
He said, "Daddy, appears to me
That you could use a little help."

Said the Alligator King to his seventh son,
"My son, you win the crown.
You didn't bring me diamonds or rubies, but
You helped me up when I was down.
Take the crown; it's yours, my son.
I hope you don't mind the dents.
I got it on sale at a discount store-
Cost me all of seven cents!"
Seven!

I had seen this before, OAK--what is the take on this in Angle-land, do y'all consider this a hoax? Maybe Charles I is wandering about, thinking to protect his family from Parliament--he "retreated" to Hampton Court after his failed attempt to arrest "The Five" in Parliament, 1641 (?).

I think Cromwell's ghost is forming a new coup & hoping to take power and save us all from Boney Prince Chuck & his running dog Toni Bliar. there are plenty of ghosts the length & breadth of the Small Island

#2 all the ghosts have many an axe to grind

Charles Stuart the First certainly would, and might hope to use it on ol' Ollie's ghost.

OOoohhh thanks for the link.
