My H got these in an email yesterday. I found them to be quite interesting, and wanted to share them with all of you.<P>Karen<P><BR>-- Nostradamus' prediction on WW3:<BR>> ><BR>> > "In the year of the new century and nine months,<BR>> > From the sky will come a great King of Terror...<BR>> > The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.<BR>> > Fire approaches the great new city..."<BR>> > "In the city of york there will be a great collapse,<BR>> > 2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos<BR>> > while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb<BR>> > third big war will begin when the big city is burning"<BR>> > - NOSTRADAMUS<P><BR>> ><BR>> > The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11<BR>> > September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11<BR>> > After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.<BR>> > 119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11<BR>> > Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11<BR>> > The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11<BR>> ><BR>> > I Have More.......<BR>> ><BR>> > State of New York - The 11 State added to the Union<BR>> > New York City - 11 Letters<BR>> > Afghanistan - 11 Letters<BR>> > The Pentagon - 11 Letters<BR>> > Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters (convicted or orchestrating the attack on the<BR>> > WTC in 1993)<BR>> > Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11<BR>> > Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11<BR>> ><BR>> > Crazy huh??<P>

Well here's another coincidence...I just received the second part about the numbers in an email, and posted it over in D/D.<P>Wonder who thought up all those numbers???

Fyi -<P>From USA today<BR>09/17/2001 - Updated 08:34 PM ET <BR> <BR>Hoax e-mail claims Nostradamus predicted attack<P>A lot of Net users are being told that Nostradamus predicted Tuesday's terrorist attack. He didn't. E-mails claiming to contain one of the 16th century seer's famous predictions have been circulating since the attacks. The poems seem to eerily predict that planes would crash into the World Trade Center. The problem: Nostradamus never made the predictions. They are sometimes based on his real writings, but he didn't write them, scholars say. <BR>Stephen O'Leary, a professor of communications at the University of Southern California, who studies Nostradamus, thinks he understands. "Finding an event predicted in prophecy gives people some kind of comfort, as if there's more order," he says.<P>The idea is compelling — both the Google and Lycos search sites report that Nostradamus was among Tuesday's top 10 searches related to the attack. (On Lycos, he was the No. 2 search overall, while on Google, he was No. 7 among attack-related searches.)<P>EBay bans the sale of terror's 'souvenirs' <P>It didn't take long for Net users to exploit tragedy. <P>Within an hour of the first plane crashing into New York's World Trade Center — with victims still fleeing for their lives and buildings still burning and crumbling — eBay patrons started hawking building debris.<P>''It started probably within the hour,'' says Kevin Pursglove of eBay. Most of the debris came from the twin towers in New York, although some of what was being hawked was from the Pentagon. <P>The site banned the sale of such items — and even temporarily extended the ban to related items, such as pictures and postcards. "We're removing it as fast as they put it up," he says. <P>Some sales appeared to go through, but the bids may have been pranks, Pursglove says — people bid hundreds of dollars for rubble. The site pulled hundreds of auctions and suspended nine users' accounts. <P>Record numbers swamp news sites<P>As people sought information about Tuesday's terrorist attack, a record number turned to news sites. CNN.com, ABCNews.com and USATODAY.com all served up record numbers of pages to news-hungry Net users. Other news sites also were flooded with traffic. Though some sites had trouble keeping up, by Wednesday sites were functioning normally.<P>CNN.com says it had 10 times the average audience Tuesday; ABCNews.com had seven, and USATODAY.com had three times its usual traffic, spokesmen say.<P>

Thank you, EWO, for posting that this is a hoax.<P>Gee whiz, people, aren't things bad enough without you guys whipping things into even more of a frenzy?<P>

I saw the Nostradamus post the day after it all happened, and I chose not to post it...but I thought the numbers thing was very interesting. NOT because of any esoteric thing, but because it was interseting numerically. <BR> <BR>I would NEVER intentionally whip up things into a frenzy about this terrible tragedy...there is more than enough of that going on without me adding to it.

Another thing about the NOSTRADAMUS predictions. This is the third or fouth time I've seen it in the last few days. And each one was been different. So most of the stuff going around is not even accurate quotes.<P>Z

I'm sorry if I offended anyone by posting this. I just found it interesting (just like the lists comparing presidents Kennedy and Lincoln).<P>I'll delete them if asked. <P>Karen<BR>

Don't get carried away by numbers they mean nothing:<P>The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11<BR>> > September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11<BR>> > After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.<BR>> > 119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran. 1 + 1 + 9 = 11<BR>> > Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11<BR>> > The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11<BR>> ><BR>> > I Have More.......<BR>> ><BR>> > State of New York - The 11 State added to the Union<BR>> > New York City - 11 Letters<BR>> > Afghanistan - 11 Letters<BR>> > The Pentagon - 11 Letters<BR>> > Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters (convicted or orchestrating the attack on the<BR>> > WTC in 1993)<BR>> > Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11<BR>> > Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11<BR>> ><BR>> > Crazy huh??<BR>Afghanistan - 11 letters<BR>New York - 6 letters<BR>Pentagon - 8 letters<BR>Bill Clinton - 11 letters<BR>Jesus Christ - 11 letters<BR>World War III - 11 letters<BR>Death for all - 11 letters<BR>Peace for all - 11 letters<BR>Holy war soon - 11 letters<BR>Knife weapon - 11 letters<BR>World sorrow - 11 letters<BR>Revenge plot - 11 letters<BR>Stupid human - 11 letters<BR>Garbage math - 11 letters<BR>Satan empire - 11 letters<BR>Before lunch - 11 letters (time of attack)
