The Seven Strong Men

 . . . the stone pillars were once an entourage of Samoyeds giants walking through the mountains to Siberia in order to destroy the Mansi people. However, upon seeing the holy Mansi mountains, the shaman of the giants dropped his drum and the entire team froze into the stone pillars.

Locally, the Seven Strong Men have adopted a legendary status, especially considering their location just a hair below the Arctic Circle. Adding to their legend are reports of a feeling of contentedness when visiting the towers. According to some visitors, all desires seem to float away during a visit to the area and local lore claims that spirits gathered in the area during ancient times.

Mathematical!

Katherine:  I know 2+2 is 4, and 4+4 is 8, and 8+8 is 16.  But what's 16+16?

Adrienne:  32

Katherine:  But why!

Adrienne:  I don't know love.  Daddy says that numbers might be just concepts that we made up that may or may not accurately represent reality.

Katherine:  Okay. (promptly falls asleep)

Thanks Wookiefoot!

Dredged up by chance from the memory hole:

These spiritual window-shoppers,
who idly ask ‘How much is that?’ Oh, I’m just looking 

. . . 

Even if you don’t know what you want
buy something 

. . . 

Start a huge, foolish project,
like Noah

It makes absolutely no difference
what people think of you

My only regret

Seems to me you're playing hard to get.
I played a cool kid once myself,
And it's my only regret.

O'Shaughnessy's Cube

Based on careful observation of a large sample of the Purple Banshee clientele, O'Shaughnessy concluded that he could use three sets of two mutually exclusive attributes to create a universal classification system for the human content of any economic enterprise. 

Using the Herrick Exponential Rule of Sets, O'Shaughnessy found that for three sets of two mutually exclusive attributes the total number of combinations was 23. With this information he was able to construct the three- dimensional O'Shaughnessy Diagram of Economic Organization (O'Shaughnessy's Cube for short), as follows: 

Representing the total human content of the economic structure by a cube, O'Shaughnessy used his first pair of attributes to divide the structure into two parts - in front, NEAT; at the back, SLOPPY. 

The second pair of attributes divides the structure horizontally - the top LAZY; the lower BUSY. 

And the third pair divides vertically - BRIGHT to the right; STUPID to the left.
