Strange But True

[AndyH]

Well I cant guarantee its all true but its certianly strange! (all copied and pasted from an email by the way, im not that sad!)

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..?!
>>
>>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
>>
>>What do you think now..?!

Q33 NY

[AndyH]

Re: Strange But True

Strange? Yes
True? No

Whats not true? Its not saying anything specific is it or have I missed something? Just coincidental stuff that seems really interesting when your at work

Re: Strange But True

Did you click on the link, Andy? This email has been going around in various forms for a while now - scopes.com debunked the whole thing soon after it started making the rounds.

Re: Strange But True

Re: Strange But True

interseting read, but i think it's just coincidence, although the 9/11 plain crash and the 9.11 verse from the quran, that could be something, i dont think the terorists just picked a random date

[toasty]

Re: Strange But True

the red flag for me was that it indicated that flights 11 and 77 hit the twin towers at the top of the message, but said at the bottom that the flight number of one of the twin tower planes was Q33NY.

Re: Strange But True

i think you could do that for about anything if you tried hard enough.

you're 25 years old, and your birthday is June 17th.

25, 6/17
25, 6+1+7
25,14
25 - 14 = 11

GO BACK TO YOUR HOLE IN IRAQ, TERRORIST!

Re: Strange But True

Well, must agree that it is unusual

Re: Strange But True

more fun facts:

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.

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.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners 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.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid 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 with Marilyn Monroe.

Now I get tired...

Re: Strange But True

Probably should have read:
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was in Marilyn Monroe.
