But seriously, I'm not joking here- seven is a cool number. Say it. It has an edge to it... seven... sssseven....

It looks pretty cool, too. It's only a horizontal line and a slanted line so it seems weird that it could look cool, but wouldn't you agree that seven is a cool looking number? Just look at it-> 7

When I said it was a sexy number, I meant it. "Seven" even starts the same as "sexy".
Forgive me, the phantom, for not completely following your argument here. I think that, if you had included a reference to Tolkien's preference for cellar door I might have been thoroughly sure what you mean. (See piosenniel's quotation of Tolkien on Welsh in post # 9.) Is that what you are getting at? The lurvely sound and idea of seven as it trips off the tongue?

I mean, I think sooner or later this is going to come around to 'real meaning' versus just enjoyment. If you know what I mean.
