I got this email yesterday, no I don't believe it, so don't flame me. Just wanted to share.
Read to the bottom and try it out. Even if you are a skeptical person like I am read on -- it's interesting -- especially the last part.
1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb has 11 letters. (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993)
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but it 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.

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.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. (3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11)
4) The tragedy in Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.

Now this is where things get a bit eerie:

The most recognized symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Koran, 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 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 Koran.

Unconvinced about all of this still ..? Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it is really kind of creepy:

1. Press “reply” on this E-mail so you can edit the text.
2. Highlight the following text: Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS……………………

What do you think now???

2. More BS
The people that sent me this in the past got this from me in retaliation.
The actual 9:11 verse from the Koran
9:11 But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.

15. Q33 NY
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 06:55 PM by Concerned GA Voter


So Q33 translates to a plane hitting two sheets of paper. I forget, what's the significance of Q33 again?

9. Always check snopes.com when you get crap like this.
Want a "real" weird one? From 1840 to 1960, every President elected in a year ending in 0 died in office (Harrison, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt, Kennedy). Reagan reversed the curse, though he had an assassination attempt.

12. That's a misprint at item 2 near the bottom.
It's supposed to be Q22 NY.
Two pieces of paper were struck by a single airplane, but the top right corner of each piece of paper was folded.

14. I got one yesterday on SSI and Immigrants. It was so wrong on
so many levels, it reeked of BS. I immediately went to snopes, it was of course, false and immediately sent it back. She's a RWer very easily influenced and a follower. Gotta keep on them at every turn. If I don't have an immediate reply or know how to handle it, I come here, state my prob and answers are abundant. I LOVE DU!!!!

17. I figured it out !!!

After "Q33 N", you are supposed to hold down the Alt key and type 152 on the numeric keypad and then release the Alt key. It explains why all this prophetic information was encoded in advance in Microsoft software.

19. More coincidences
There are 9 planets in the solar system; 9 is the largest odd number less than 11. :bounce:

When written in binary, all odd numbers greater than 1 contain the digits found in 11 :bounce:

Sodium is element number 11, and sodium was present in the World Trade Center. :bounce:

There is only one group of order 11 and it is cyclic. :bounce:

'Dumb asshole' also has 11 letters. :bounce:

22. symbol for the US... is the Eagle
the eagle was also the symbol for the Roman Empire and Nazi Germany. If the quoted verse even exist, how do we know it was referring to either of them. The verse sounds as phony as the fake Nostradamus quatrain about 911, the one with 5 lines not the standard 4
