A stitch in time saves nine, as it wraps the number in a protective thread-cocoon to shield it from the ravenous jaws of seven.

Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: New Year's Countdowns
Each New Year's Eve is the same old celebration––elderly celebrities wear scarves on television, military jets spew coloured smoke to sky-write the digits of the forthcoming year, and the mayor of the previous year doffs his hat and solemnly marches into the sea. Perhaps the most stale, repetitive ritual is the 10-second countdown to midnight. What are some ways to make it fun again?
- For each second before midnight, tip over an antique wooden soldier and shed a single tear. This will symbolize emotion.
- Shoot your 10 bravest dogs into space––Lefty, Flo, T-Bone, Cheswick, Jangles, Tugger, Wilt, MoMo, Jamiroquai Jr., and Ampersand!
- Try being drunk.
- Tune into Pepsi Cola presents Twilight: Eclipse's "Spookin' New Fear's Eve," as it counts down the 10 sexiest movie monsters of 2010 and 1959.
