Speaking of Which...  I recently learned the origin of the dash in the 7...

Moses was coming down from Mt. Sinai with the two stone tables with the 
Ten Commandments on them and started to tell them to the Israelites: "1. 
You shall have no other gods before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
...Then someone from the audience yelled: "Cross the seven off! Cross 
the seven off!"
