You know the ones I mean - you get them sent to you all the time by bored colleagues and your usually too bored to verify them yourselves.

Here's one I got sent today - any more takers....

Eleven has come to be a very interesting number. It could be a forced coincidence, but in any case this is interesting. You decide for yourself

1. New York City has 11 letters.

2. Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3. Ramsin Yuseb (the terrorist who threatened the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4. George W. Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence (could it be?) now here is what is interesting

1. New York is State No. 11.

2. The first plane, which crashed into the Twin Towers, was flight no. 11.

3. Flight no. 11 was carrying 92 passengers, adding this number gives 9+2=11.

4. Flight no. 77 which also hit the towers was carrying 65 passengers, adding this 6+5=11.

5. The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11, adding this 9+1+1=11.

6. The date is equal to the emergency number 911, adding this 9+1+1=11.

Now we have a very upsetting piece.

1 The total number of passengers inside the planes are 254: 2+5+4=11.

2. The day September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year: 2+5+4=11.

3. After September 11 there are 111 days more to the end of the year.

4. The tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also adds to: 3+1+1+2+4=11.

5. The tragedy in Madrid happened 911 days after the tragedy of the Twin Towers.

SPOOKED. READ ON.

Since America is typically represented by an Eagle, Saddam and Bin Laden should have read up on their Muslim passages.

The following verse is from the Quran

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, 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.

NOTE THE VERSE NUMBER!!!

FINALLY

1. Open up a blank Word document.

2. Type Q33 NY in capitals (this is the flight number of the first plane to hit the World Trader Centre gate Q33 @ NY (New York)

3. Highlight Q33 NY

4. Change the font size to 48.

5. Change the actual font to Wingdings.

Now that is freaky.

creepy

yeah. . .very creepy

I get them from my Uncle all the time.. Most are ugly and stupid.

well I checked out the windings thing and its a load of cobblers. in the process of checking that lots more things related to eleven came to light - all of which are verifiable - like the towers had 21,800 windows or 2+1+8+0+0=11.....

are you sure you did windings as opposed to webdings? very odd.

no - I mean it does work but theres no such departure gate in NYC.....

......?

Q33NY that is...

i see

That sounds similar to "The bible code"... there was a program about that where a guy demonstrated that using that "code", you could find hidden messages in just about anything... he gave an example where you could find 9/11 predicted in the lyrics to "Ice, ice baby" (vey convincingly too)... sort of showed what a lot of nonsense these type of things are.

Posted for your befuddlement .. I don't care to verify .. I much prefer to believe "everything" I read

Lincoln and Kennedy

Here's a little part of US history which makes you go h-m-m-m:
Have a history teacher explain this if they can?

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners.
Both successors were named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born! ! in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Kennedy.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln.'
Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker......

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.

the plot thickens :-)

That last line gave me a laugh. I guess some people would say there were too many similaritites there to be coincidence, that there must be some meaning behind it... but then, I can't think of any :-P

*ponders*

“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 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.”

Ha ha, there is no such verse in the Qur'an. I'm surprised no one looked that up. It doesn't even *sound* like something from the Qur'an.

I'm more surprised that someone looked up this thread from two years ago...

i know this isnt strange and creepy but it is halariously funny and makes alot of sense, please do not read this if you believe in santa

:'o(

You're mean.

Santa is real ... has bionic limbs and has evolved into a cyborg of sorts to deal with the gravitational forces and as the population levels of recipients of his gift-giving have increased ... et al.

Same with the reindeer ... so there.

Although ... *thinks some more* ... not having to put out a plate of cookies and milk, means more for me ... nahhhh !!

Santa is real.
