You can pick any number and find things related to it. Besides, your anecdotes may be explained with physics or musical theory, for example. I don't know anything about music theory, but it seems that the chromatic scale has 12 notes. Also, it seems that Newton named 7 colors in the Rainbow to make it match the idea of the seven note scale ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow#Distinct_colours ) - Panu Horsmalahti ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
