11 >>> unlucky

[rockerluke]

1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who

threatened to destroy the Twin

Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this

gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin

Towers was flight number

11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 +

2 = 11

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers,

was carrying 65 passengers.

6+5 = 11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or

9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11

6) The date is equal to the US emergency

services telephone number

911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up

your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the

hi-jacked planes was

254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of the

calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4

= 11.

3) The Madrid bombing took place on

3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911

days after the Twin Towers

incident.

Now this is where things get totally eerie:

The most recognised symbol for the US,

after the Stars & Stripes, is

the Eagle. The following verse is taken from

the Quran, the Islamic

holy book:

"For it is written that a son of Arabia would

awaken a fearsome Eagle.

The wrath of the Eagle would be felt

throughout the lands of Allah and lo,

while some of the people trembled in

despair still more rejoiced: for

the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of

Allah and there was

peace."

That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.

Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this

and see how you feel

afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight

number of the first

plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to the

WINGDINGS

What do you think now?!!

heh. cute

What do I think now? Try any different permutations of the numbers given and you could come up with another similar "eerie unlucky number".

For example, just off the top of my head:

Is 7 unlucky?! ZOMG.

New York has 7 letters!

The date of the tragedy was 9/11! 9-1-1=7

Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers, 9-2=7

Flight 77 hit the Twin Towers

The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 - 1 - 1 = 7.

Also, the verse being 9.11 of the Quaran wasn't so much creepy coincidence as it was design of the terrorists.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who

threatened to destroy the Twin

Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

Yes, but Osama bin Laden, the terrorist who actually did, has 13.

This whole thing sounds like more of an argument for 911 being unlucky.

hahaha

that's pretty amusing

but Q33 NY isn't the flight or tail number for the plane :huh:

[Anime Gee]

Number 11 is my new luck number!! (^o^ )

[amy]

relative luck of numbers is a personal thing! Obviously these numbers were unlucky for the people in new york which is surprising for me as they are angular, like the people in new york.

[Venom112]

*gasp*

Vowels are unlucky too! Ever notice that New York has both an "e" and an "o"? And also that Osama Bin Laden has an "e" and an "o"? Coincidence? I think not!

Well, to be fair, that's not how numerology works. Numerology is based on ADDING all digits together.

Well I don't know about you Vampy, but I believe in advancements and improvements. If you're against that, you don't have to hide it with your defending of basic and primitive forms of numerology.

Yes, but he also did a number of other things like counting the number of letters in a word, etc. etc. My point was that if you really wanted to, you could make any date or letters have ominous meanings.

Plus, numerology is bullshit. :crube:

[darkon]

Chris Anderson has 13 letters.

Teenage person has 13 letters.

Teenagers start at 13.

CHRIS ANDERSON MUST BE A TEENAGER!

As one of my allies once said...

*sees book*

ally: "The Idiot's Guide to Numerology"? Isn't that kind of redundant?

[Belial]

BULL...SHIT. that is so bullshit, i bet they've never picked up the Quran in their entire life. that's so bullshit. The REAL verse reads as: [Chptr 9, verse 11]

"But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the Zakat, then they are our brethren in faith. And We explain the Signs for a people who have knowledge."

I copied that directly out of the Quran right now, so yeah. [btw, the 'a' in 'Zakat' is suppose to have a line above it but I couldn't find it so...]

Pwned?

[David]

omg i spilled some fries on my desk and they spelled out 11 oh noesh1!u1h1pi7twfg8iwy7pa4

The likelyness of something being 11 is just as likely as it being any other number
