News & Events - October 2006

I came across this article on the internet about a week ago. I found it quite humorous and a tad bit disturbing but nevertheless, an interesting topic.

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) bill clinton 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.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

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..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

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 the
WINGDINGS

Not in a linking mood but if you look at sentencing in English courts overall, it seems that as if crimes against property gets harsher sentences than crimes against the person.
So i ask the question ...
Answers on a postcard please :-)

This is where al Quaeda HQ was (is?).
So why so little news?
What about bin Laden? Is he on the back burner, or off of the stove?

I work as hard as the next person but I don't see it happening any time soon, but it'd be great to be able to take to grind out of life and take time to see what it's really all about.

I'm not talking about Ipods or fast cars, but things like having the time to think more about things in places that are conducive to it - that would be a real luxury (i.e. not in the car on the motorway).

All ideas greatly received!

I've had missed calls on my mobile from two seperate numbers starting 0706 and on my land line I called the number and it put me through to an answer phone saying 'your call is being connected'. I promptly put the phone down. What's this all about?
