"A Biblical Observation"

Earlier this morning, I added a new category of t-shirts to my store: Christian T-shirts. However, as I looked over the final category, I made an interesting -- and serendipitous -- discovery...

Each new category in the CafePress system, is assigned a multi-digit number -- sequentially -- across millions of stores. As a new category is created (in any store), the overall number goes up by a factor of one. It's then assigned to the store URL, and becomes the permanent link to the new category, like this:

cafepress.com/jonbaas/2423676

With that said, here's what I discovered this morning: As a random result of time and the sequential order in which new categories are assigned numbers, my Christian t-shirts were given the following seven-digit number: 5777777.

As it just so happens, the number seven is actually a Biblical number. Thus, if we put this all together, we have: the category for my Christian t-shirts.... and a multi-digit tag with a whole lot of sevens. That my friends is not only ironic, but highly improbable. Pretty cool, huh?!
