You're right, but the magic 17 been popping up more & more often of late. If I were a numbers man [and I'm not], I'd ask what the chances of 17 coming up in a news headline would be. In my opinion, for what it's worth, it's got to be 1 in 2000 has it not? Is that 0.0005%? I'm not reading 2000 headlines a week but I'm seeing the 17 once a week right now.
To what end?
Well, every news story that has the number 17 anywhere on the internet in it gets posted here, so if you’re here at least once a week, then that might explain it.
