RE:why do people say, "I'm all sixes and sevens here"?

that's one you can look up-- as i recall, (and i am pretty sure i read it here) it has to do with guilded crafts.. and their processional order in a parade in London..

One guild was ranked first, and so on, till they got to number 6-- and there was a tie, so alternate years, one guildhall marches in the 6th position, and the following year, in the 7th position..and visa versa. if you want the detail of which guild hall, and what the criteria was for the ranking (details i have failed to remember, LIU!)
