7-Spot

The Hyperion Institute turns 7 today, and in honor of that auspicious event, I thought I would take a look at the 7 greatest things that come in 7s.





Honorable Mention:
7 DWARVES,
7 EROGENOUS SPOTS (ACCORDING TO MONICA GELLAR),
7 SISTERS,
7 AGES OF MAN,
7 SAMURAI/MAGNIFICENT 7,
7 CARD STUD,
7 HEAVENLY VIRTUES,
7 LAST THINGS JESUS SAID,
7 BIOLOGICAL TAXONOMY,
7 WORDS YOU CAN'T SAY ON TV






THE TOP SEVEN THINGS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH 7




#7 SEVEN WONDERS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD - In case you were wondering, they are: Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes, Lighthouse of Alexandria. To see them all visit here.






#7 SEVEN NOTES OF THE MUSICAL SCALE - In case your hatred of Julie Andrews runs deep, they are Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, & Ti.






#7 SEVEN COLORS OF THE OPTICAL/VISIBLE LIGHT SPECTRUM - This one is a bit of a misnomer. Isaac Newton was obsessed with the number seven, as any good genius is, and he wanted the number to match other 7s in his world. Theoretically there are as many colors as the human eye can deduce, but without Newton we wouldn't have ROYGBIV.






#7 Happy Numbers - Right now, if anyone reading this knows what a happy number is, I offer you a seat in the Institute Council sight unseen. Anyway, a Happy Number is one where the digits of the numbers square both square, those numbers are added up and the digits are squared, etc. until you get back to 1. 7 is the smallest Happy number (except for 1, which doesn't count). Here, let me show you:


7^2 = 49


4^2 + 9^2 = 16+81 = 97


9^2 + 7^2 = 81 + 49 = 130


1^2 + 3^2 + 0^2 = 1 + 9 + 0 = 10


1^2 + 0^2 = 1 + 0 = 1


See? Isn't that cool?





#7 SEVEN CONTINENTS - In case you're really dumb, they are Africa, Asia, North America, South America, Europe, Australia and Atlantis






#7 SEVEN DAYS OF THE WEEK - Do I need to list these? Wednesday is probably the best, if only because of whom it is named after. (Surely you recognize the pic?)


and the Number Seven thing having to do with 7....





#7 SEVEN DEADLY SINS - Too bad the Seven Heavenly Virtues only made Honorable Mention, but it's that kind of world. Count 'em down with me: Greed, Envy, Sloth, Wrath, Gluttony, Pride, and everybody's favorite....




See ya soon!
