Number games

Don't you love it when those crazy conspiracy theory emails appear in your in box. The following was sent to me (Elaine really knows how to get a rant out of me) and concerns the number 11.

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.

Notice that they didn't pick Washington D.C., Twin Towers, George Walker Bush, New York State, Pentagon, United States of America, World Trade Centre, American Airlines, United Airlines, Pennsylvania, etc. The Ramsin dudes first name was usally written as Ramzi, and anyway, they believe his birth name was Abdul Basit Karim. How come they didn't add "Burkina Faso", "Nertherlands", or "Vatican City" (all 11 letters)? Surely if it's a conspiracy the Roman Catholic Church has to be involved?

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.

Let's look at these:
1. But where does that leave Washington D.C.? It's not a state so what's its number? How does it fit in?
2. Why wasn't it flight 9? If it's 9/11 then flight 9 should have been first, then flight 11.
3. I can make 11 and 92 turn into any number. 1+1=2; 1+1+2+9=13;1+3=4; 9-2=7; 9x2=18, 1+8=9; Have a go yourself.
4. Flight 77 actually carried 64 passengers. But why would you want to let a fact spoil a good story.
5 and 6. See 3.

Are you convinced?

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.

They love adding numbers. Didn't they learn subtraction, mulitplication and division? What numbers can you make? Actually, Madrid happened 912 days after.

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 (the Islamic Bible) 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!!!

I'll give you $1 million if you can find this passage in the Quran. The actually quote from chapter 9, verse 11 is:
"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."

Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

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 at NY (New York)
3. Highlight Q33 NY
4. Change the font size to 48.
5. Change the actual font to Wingdings.

NOW YOUR FREAKED!!!!

I'm freaked.But not because of that. But because the object "Q33 NY" doesn't exist for any of the planes. Here are the plane details:
...American Airlines flight #11.
Took off from Boston destined for Los Angeles.
Struck the World Trade Center.
The tail # was N334AA.
...United Airlines flight #175.
Took off from Boston destined for Los Angeles.
Struck the World Trade Center.
The tail # was N612UA.
...American Airlines flight #77.
Took off from Dulles near Washington D.C. destined for Los Angeles.
Struck the Pentagon.
The aircraft tail # was N644AA.
...United Airlines flight #93.
Took off from Newark destined for San Francisco.
Crashed in Pennsylvania was flight #93.
The tail # was N591UA.
