>>>Something about tridents, or trinities, or whatever. The 3-7-12 based system. Somehow four, five, six, eight and nine aren't getting equal opportunity. Dang, there are four musketeers, and the book is called "Three musketeers". There are seven dwarves, even seven samurai, behind seven seas, seven hungry cows, third time is the charm, etc etc. You won't find much of the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 in the titles. Except maybe the four riders, but they're the bad guys.

>Speaking of sevens... how come the days of the week aren't equal? How many songs are there about Friday to Tuesday? From "Friday on my mind", to the "Ruby Tuesday". Name three songs with Wednesday or Thursday in the title.

Well lets see.... there is anohter Beatles song called "Eight Days a Week". Wouldn't that include Wednesday and Thursday? But give me time I'll see if I can find some. :)
