Jakes Lucky 7 T-shirts?

Friday, January 29th, 2010

What do you guys think about these t-shirts? They’ve been around for a fair old few years now but i still don’t see many people with them? Are they tacky or are they ok? I usually make my mind up straight away if i buy something but this… i don’t know if it would fit my style, I have got quite a quirky style. Its just sitting in my wardrobe.

Why Do People Consider 7 To Be Lucky And 13 To Be Unlucky ?

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Seven is the number of Heaven, home of God. The ancients imagined that the heavens were divided into seven layers : Sun, Moon, and the five visible planets Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn. The seven days of the week are based on these.
So seven=heaven=holy=lucky.
Unlucky 13 is based on a passage from the Bible. The 13th seat at the Last Supper belonged to Judas the Betrayer of Christ. So 13 came to be regarded as an inauspicious number.
There may have also been an ancient Greek influence, since their 13th major god was Hades king of the dead (the other 12 were the gods of heaven). They also had a 13th leap month which was interposed into the calendar every few years in mid winter and which was regarded as sacred to the dead, so somewhat unlucky in superstition.

Why Is The Number 7 Usaully A Lucky Nimber?

Monday, January 25th, 2010

it’s a christian thing, probably came from the ancient greeks. it’s numerology, which is superstition, which is a christian’s meat and potatoes.
actually i guess the old testament used it, too. here is a list of the symbolic meanings of 7 to various superstitionshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_%28number…
basically i think the number is just the most unusual number that is still nice and small. people can only remember about seven bits of information at one time, they say in psychology. (chunking).
