yet another Nostradamus creepy hokeyness

**TheLoneGunman** · 09-15-2001, 11:14 AM

While I just realized these OTHER creepy coincidences:

1. Nostradamus begins with an "N" and so does New York City

2. Nostradamus lived in Europe and now Europe is supporting our call for retaliation

3. Nostradamus lived in France and the people of France gave us the Statue of Liberty which is still in New York Harbor

4. Nostradamus wrote on paper. The people who worked in the World Trade Center wrote on paper.

5. Nostradamus never wrote about aliens attacking the White House with death rays. The White House was never actually attacked by aliens with death rays.

6. Nostradamus never posted a hardware review on Got|Apex. The hijackers never posted a hardware review on Got|Apex.

I'm sorry, but 5 and 6 are just eerie! Those are airtight!

More "eerie coincidences" (reposted from another board):

Date of attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year
119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11
Twin Towers - standing side by side, look like the number 11
The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11
State of New York - The 11th State added to the Union
New York City - 11 Letters
Afghanistan - 11 Letters
The Pentagon - 11 Letters
Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters (convicted of orchestrating the attack on the WTC in 1993)
Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11
Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11

And I can't believe no one has pointed this out yet: "Nostradamus" - yep, you guessed it, 11 LETTERS! Simply shocking.

numerology bugs me big-time. ther are only ten digits in our numbering system. if you are allowed to manipulate not only the numbers, but also the individual digits of those numbers, any way you please, adding, subtracting, etc, it is really easy to come up with "matches" between different things - kinda like, there are only seven days in a week, so the chances of two people being born on the same day of a week... not eerie. just high probability.

all in all, numerology is like a really dumbed-down version of six degrees to kevin bacon. not eerie. just a high probability that you can get where you want to go cuz there are zillions of ways to do it.

YANCH? what is YANCH?

**topane** · 09-15-2001, 03:02 PM

OK, that's enough!

*smacks everyone around in the room back to their senses*

**sbp** · 09-15-2001, 04:37 PM

I really hope people don't buy this crap.

**dbax791** · 09-15-2001, 04:55 PM

That if you rearrange the letters in "NOSTRADAMUS" you get "OSAMA TURNS"

Or "OSAMA RUNTS"
Or "MAN R U A STOD"

This Nostradamus crap is starting to bug me. I agree with welfareloser - you can rearrange stuff and fit facts to meet your needs all day long. Nostradamus wrote over 1000 verses of which 99 percent is completely ignored. Hell, if I looked hard enough I could find something where Nostradamus predicted the transmission failure of my '89 Toyota. It is pure, unadulterated crap! Talk to me sometime when you predict something before it happens and maybe I'll listen. The only "prediction" where he layed out a solid date was for 7/2000, when he predicted the end of the world. Whoops! Sorry N.D, I'm still here.

**sho.gun** · 09-15-2001, 05:04 PM

Oh my, you can also get "Osama Turds" that's it I'm a believer now

Are you Brendan Dodge, the Newburian sponsor? just wonderin...

**Mike_N_Ike** · 09-16-2001, 05:26 PM

Ok guys, like most of you, I was skeptical about this stuff. But the connection is completely undeniable. Nostradamus must have been a genius.

If you add up the character values of all the letters in "osama bin laden" (where a=1 b=2 etc), you get 110.

If you add up the character values from "tuesday" and "september" you get 198. 198 is the product of 18 and 11. 18? 18? 1+8=9...9 and 11. <shiver>

If you wrote "osama bin laden" and "nostradamus" and crossed out each letter that you could find in both of their names, you'd be left with a b e i l n r s t u. That's 10 letters! Since nostradamus must have looked like a 1 from far away (thranks for the insight Brendan), it only seems logical to add that 1 to the 10 making...11. If you cared to add up the character values of each of those letters you'd find, it'd sum to 121. Which is 11 squared!

There are exactly 15 letters in "sextuplet towers"... 15 - 4 (for the 4 towers that were never built) = ...that's right... 11.

And this is the scariest of all...
If you add the character values from "nostradamus" and "wtc" you get 191. 11 divides into 191 17 times with a remainder of 4. 4 planes crashed! And 17 is just one more than the number of letters in "world trade center" - exactly one less than the number of letters in "world trade center" if you count spaces. The +1 and -1 cancel out making it fit perfectly!

Dang, scary stuff.

Since I have no idea what that is, I'm gonna have to lean towards no.

**sho.gun** · 09-16-2001, 09:06 PM

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has a limit. This nostradamus fellow has been taken way too far into this incident.

Oh yeah, it'd be cool if Brendan is actually Brendan Dodge, my school newspaper sponsor last year. He was a funny guy and I thought that if he buys into this nostradamus stuff he can expect a call from me.

You guys don't actually think I buy this crap do you? Just to be crystal clear I posted it as a joke. Geez, and I was using my best sarcastic tone too. Guess it needs some work.

Incidently, Brendan Dodge is a damn cool name. I think I may have me a new last name there (not that I dislike my current one, it just doesn't have the edge of "Dodge").

How about an actual creepiness (besides my post about NYC being nuked a few days before)

The current issue of INC (which just arrived) has the headline "WAR" in huge type on the cover. (It has nothing to do with the NYC situation, but it is just creepy like they knew)
