Mostly I wanted to crush anyone's ambitious ideas of putting up numerology articles and trying to convince me that Bernhard Strauss's name has anything to do with the number seven. While quaint, I refuse to believe it.
It's a joke between me and everyone else I play Marathon with to take every number we find together (when we're in the mood) and turn it into a bunch of sevens and threes, chained together with arithmetic. Turns out we can do it with every number, and that's why I don't have an overflowing amount of respect for that page.
This isn't to say that all the sevens in Marathon are all lies, but the less apparent ones, while quaint or sometimes even bordering on interesting, shouldn't be taken as seriously as they are.
