Very Strange 9-1-1

[Guest]

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 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 OR 36

4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS OR WINGDINGS 1

This last bit is a bunch of bullshit. In the first part the plane that crashed into the towers first was Flight 11. Now in the end it's changed to Q33. What a bunch of crap!

Well first of all I didn't write it....just put it up for the sake of conversation.

Thats the great thing about America everyone is allowed to say what they think!

You still have not explained the rest of it?

 

[Guest]

Wow!

Someone had a lot of time on their hands.

My name has 13 letters. Subtract 2 because it's two names and you get... OMFG!!! 11

I drive a '92 Ford ranger. 9+2= HOLY SHIT!!!! 11 Again!!!

The first time I lit a firecracker was July 4th '74... CHRIST ALLMIGHTY!!! 7+4= 11 TWICE!!!

And I was 11 years old at the time!!!!

Why I must be the fuckin' anti-Christ or something!!! Somebody shoot me before it's too late!!!!

This part isn't true.

(edited to add the text)

Quran 9:11

Claim: Quranic verse 9:11 speaks of the "wrath of the Eagle cleansing the lands of Allah."

Status: False.

Example: [Collected via e-mail, 2003]

Quran (9:11) -- 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.

Robert Spencer

Robert Spencer probes the Qur'an and other sacred documents, as well as Islamic traditions and history and the present-day situtation of the Muslim world, to find out why the world's fastest ...
chapter and verse citation reproduced in the example block above isn't a legitimate quotation from the Quran (or Koran), the sacred text of Islam — no such passage appears in that book, at Chapter 9, Verse 11 or anywhere else.

This item a hoax, a leg-pull, that plays on the USA's (i.e., the Eagle's) launching of military action against Afghanistan and Iraq (the "lands of Allah") in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on America organized by Osama bin Laden (the "son of Arabia"). That the chapter and verse selection match the date of the terrorist attacks (9:11) is another giveaway to the joke.

Depending upon which translation of the Quran one uses, the section corresponding to chapter 9, verse 11 actually reads something like this:
But if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, they are your brethren in faith; and We make the communications clear for a people who know.

Your abosolutly right. And I never once said it was you who wrote it, I just said it's a bunch of crap. It's amazing what you can make number say. It all depends on how you put them together.

I could sit here as type a long load of tripe and have you believing the 2 + 2 = 5 by the time I'm finished. And that's after we all know it's actually 3.

And like the dragon says, someone with out a life put this together.

 

[Guest]

You beat me to it, Sarahh.

I've seen this one before.



Also the supposed quote attributed to Nostradamus about the twin towers.

I love the mystery and history of Nostradamus and his quatrains so that one really pissed me off.

 

[fieryjen]

Oh, this is so ancient. I thought that crap died a few years ago.

 

[Lisa Denton]

WTF?

Look peoples, I can explain all this to you.

It has numerical scientific values, and can be worked out with trigonometetric algorithmical equations.

I will try to put it in laymans terms so everone can understand.


Now, numerically speakin, 1 + 1 = 2........................

Uh oh, 1 + 1 is 11 ..........................

Nevermind, I'm gettin outa here fast.

No, stay just a bit.

I've missed you.

Gimme a kiss.

Numerology: proof that if you stare at static long enough, you will see patterns.

Personally, I enjoyed Umberto Ecco's approach of gently explaining why every number from 1-10 is a "magic" number for some culture and for what seems like a good reason: one for one body/person, five for senses or digits, what have you. In the end, it's just numbers. The amazing part is not that there is a remarkable range of calculations that can total to 11, but that someone put in the time and energy to list so many of them.

But hey - let's play. Everyone add some!

1. Queen Victoria died in 1901 - a year that not only contains 9, 1, and 1, but whose digits total 11 if added.

2. Victoria came to the throne in 1837. If we total that year's digits, we get 19. Add the 1 and the 9 and add the additional 1 year she lived into the next century and we get - 11!

3. Queen Victoria was born in 1819. Mysteriously, this works exactly the same as the year of her ascension to the throne! We can add the digits to get 19, add the one and the nine, and add one more one for the year she lived into the new century and - 11. Astounding! But wait - there's more!

4. New York is composed of five boroughs. Of these, Queens contains both airports - where we can find airplanes, the weapons used to demolish the twin towers.

5. The word "Queens" has six letters. If we add that to the 5 of the 5 boroughs, we get - 11!

6. Queen Victoria died in 1901 - exactly one century from 2001, the year in which the twin towers were demolished.

Clearly, there's only one conclusion we can come to. The ghost of Queen Victoria arose in a diabolical plan to smite down the nation that succeeded hers to the mantle of "empire."

I knew it!!




Brilliant.

 

[mtnman2003]

Of all the..........

I can not believe I read all the posts here........ should have bolted after the first few lines of the first one.........

Jeesh........ somebody had way too much redneck time!

And the 1+1=11 has to be one of the oldest jokes of all time

Now my head hurts........ time for a nap.

Moi? Redneck?

Bite your tongue.

Harder.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Aw, shucks.

*digs ground shyly with hoof*

 

[Stella_Omega]

Aw, shucks.

*digs ground shyly with hoof*

Have a carrot, horsey!

 

[BlackShanglan]

Have a carrot, horsey!

From you? Any day.

Although ... if you place two carrots upright side by side, and read them as if they were a number ...

Okay, THAT made me spit water all over the screen.

Naughty, naughty Shang.

Bwahahahahaha!

Aw, shucks.

*digs ground shyly with hoof*

I meant it though May I pet the horsie?

 

[BlackShanglan]

I meant it though May I pet the horsie?

Yes, please.

 

[fieryjen]

Yes, please.

*pets and cuddles all over*
ETA: Do you have a happy spot?

 

[BlackShanglan]

*pets and cuddles all over*
ETA: Do you have a happy spot?

Mmmmm. Lovely!

Unfortunately, I must confess to being too ignorant to know what "ETA" means. Or rather ... I know that it can mean "estimated time to arrival," but that seems unlikely in the context. Perhaps it's "eagerly take another?" I would.

It means "edited to add".

But I'll cuddle you again anyway.

 

[BlackShanglan]

Ah, one learns something new every day. Thanks for the explanation and for the second round of petting.
