Grumpy Sneezy Dopey Bashful Sleepy Happy and Doc, but only on pianos under
five feet. Hmmm... Chinese Year names - Rat, Dog, Horse, etc. Bones in the
foot, Navy Watch designations, Time Zones, Stooges (in groups of three),
Senators (see stooges) in chronological order, Fibonacci numbers, and the
ever popular compound numbers used to generate the Mandelbrot set (let me
reiterate). Now this is a first rate suggestion, allowing nearly unlimited
opportunity for continued confusion, and clearly has vast potential for
industrial and military use, but which rib do you start with, Grumpy, or the
square root of minus one? 

OK John, I'll bite, what's a Riven number? Is it like "Quoth the Riven,
never four"? (groan)
