Topic: I was sent this as an e mail. It is pretty spooky

[joji]

If this is right it is really spooky - if not well done to whoever worked it out

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 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 Koran/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 unconvinced about all of this..?!:

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 WINGDINGS (if you have windings 1 & 2 use No.1)

This is actually quite scary..................... :o :o :o :o

ARGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o

Now that is spooky :o

[Robert_Brenchley]

It sounds like the anti-Islamic stuff that's being circulated. You notice that the wrath of the eagle cleaneses 'the lands of Allah'. That's a specific reference to Muslim countries, not other parts of the world. It's like the stuff they do with the Bible, take little snippets out of context and twist them so they look like 'prophecies' of current political happenings.

[Curryandchips]

I agree. These number games are also very easy to create for the same reason, they are taken out of context, and manipulated to support a specific number.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but verse 9.11 reads: [9.11] 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.

If you want to be scared, read the whole of book 9, which is the one that instructs Muslims to slay unbelievers.

Your not raining on my parade. I have coppied it as was sent to me. It is better the truth be known than not to know at all. :)

[Curryandchips]

I am forming the opinion that this is a hoax, presumably malicious, to perpetuate hostile attitudes.

Joji, I don't think anyone is doubting your sincerity, and to move very quickly off topic, are you and your dogs enjoying the weather !  :D

Hang on here guys.

It was sent to me as a bit of fun. ::)

It is now being taken out of all proportion.  ::)

Has anyone out there actually done what it says at the bottom of the post ?

Please guys loosen up. :)

[Curryandchips]

Well commented - A bit of fun.

I checked out the flight number yes, and also researched it via google - the flight number is false, and was created to select the required images. A clever piece of trickery.

[tim]

But so convincing!!

[Hyacinth]

yes, Tim, urban myths usually are (cept the one about the mother in law rolled in the carpet, that is).Never quite believed that one ;)

Never thought that this particular one was "a hoax, presumably malicious..." tho.

Just clever number crunching/manipulation. Smacks of Carol Vordeman to me ;D

Ohwer missis, she could smack me anytime :P
