God <3s 7

God totally loves 7.

Here are some examples.

"Bruce Almighty" was on network TV last week. Whoa. 7 MANIA! This movie boasts a WEALTH of 7.

For starters, Bruce works at Channel 7 News, doing the 7 o'clock news. When he goes to meet God (on the 7th floor), he doesn't believe that he's face-to-face with ye almighty. So Bruce asks God to tell him how many fingers he is holding up behind his back. Bruce tries to trick him by holding up 7, and then pulling a switcheroo to 5. God gives him...ehhem...7 fingers on his hand. YESSS!!! Sweet. Bruce goes on to drive a Saleen S7, have 7 encounters with that homeless guy holding up those signs, meet with God 7 times throughout the movie, and reference the 7 days of creation:
Bruce: I needed time to reassess my goals and get in touch with my true self.
Jack: You did that in a day?
Bruce: Imagine what I could do in seven...

Ok. Hold on to your butts. Here comes more evidence of God's affinity for 7.

Today there was a crazy plane crash/emergency landing in the Hudson River, which I read about online. Because I am a crazy nut who is obsessed with air disasters, I followed a link to an ABC news article called "Staying Alive During a Plane Crash" (very important). One of their main pieces of advice was to sit within 7 rows of an exit. Listen to this hot bitch Ed Galea:
"What we've found is that the average distance a survivor will travel in an evacuation is seven seat rows," says Galea, an Australian professor who has pored over interviews with 2,000 survivors of 105 plane crashes, analyzing their behavior and searching for the keys to survival.

Obviously, God allowed the creation of air travel only if those "in the know" (read: those who follow the habits of 7's magic) could sit within a safety zone should He decide to strike down an aircraft at will.
