I don't think fourteen seemed as random a number back then, because it has a lot of mystical/religious connotations the Founding Fathers would probably have found familiar.

And of course, coming from a society whose numbering system was originally base 12 (and heavily influenced by numbers divisible by seven for reasons I have not yet researched), 14 may have naturally seemed like a logical number, whereas our thinking now is very much shifted to base ten and numbers divisible by five seem more natural and logical.

Oh. There's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_%28number%29#Christianity

Doesn't explain shit. Seven is still a cool number though.

IIRC, 14 was also the original number of years a copyright could be retained.

14... 1 + 4 = 5   = lo5 they were discordians obviously..

Which explains the 2nd Amendment.  They were setting up future gun control lulz.

14 is also the number of days (not including Sundays) that the pres has to veto a bill... i wonder if I had that backwards, and they picked a president age of 35 because it was 14 over 21, and not the other way around.
