777.

If June 6th 2006 was a date to be avoided because of its association with the Number of the Beast, it seems today is a day to be embraced as being "all the sevens". Just why seven is considered a significant, and for many a lucky number is lost in the mists of time, but just consider how often it features in our daily life and language. According to the Old Testament, God created the world in seven days, which presumably is why we have seven-day weeks, there are seven deadly sins, breaking a mirror will bring you seven years bad luck, in Snow White there are seven dwarfs, seven (at the first attempt) is a winning throw in the dice game of craps, we talk about the seven seas and seventh heaven, there are seven wonders of the world and so on. So today may be an auspicious day for doing that thing you've been meaning to do for ages!
