Some people have lots of fun counting how many times seven is used in various works considered sacred.

I think about everyone uses seven. Every book I have has a page seven.
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".
There are many gambling games that involve rolling the number seven with dice. There are also games that use seven as a wild card. If you pull the lever on a slot machine and get sevens across it is a very good thing. I know a lot of people who consider seven their lucky number.
Seventeen magazine is one of the most popular magazines in the country. Why isn't Sixteen or Eighteen so popular?
But don't completely disregard my entire post as nonsense. I really think there's something to it. Sure, Prof T might have gone with seven for a concrete reason (to mirror something Biblical or something in a Norse myth), but I also think that he might've picked seven anyway without religious influence just because seven is a great number.
I know I would've picked it.
