Lucky Seven!

The dow has closed down 777.68; not only is that three sevens, but the 6 and 8 average out to two more sevens! The reason the market went down is probably closely related to the $700 billion dollary bailout that failed to pass; if 12 of the "nays" had switched to "yea" the measure would have been approved by 217 to 216; more sevens! Don't forget that the mininum passing vote (assuming abstentions remained the same) would have been divisible by 7!

What a lucky day!

Edit: How'd I miss this? The Dow fell 6.98%, which easily rounds off to... 7.
