32%-- the number of US caesarian births in 2007, highest-ever.

$2.2 million-- sale price of one of Oskar Schindler's original lists. Must have been one of those hedge fund managers.

Difference between north and south.

The nawth has green salads, the south has collard greens.

Happy 7-7-07

It doesn't happen often, but it did today. All the numbers are the lucky seven. I understand that there will be a lot more weddings today than usually happen in July.

Must be a guaranteed way for men to remember their wedding day. I wouldn't bet on it, though.

Let's see, the next triple number will be August 8, 2008.

Rolling Them Sevens. --RoadDog
