Next thing you know they'll be making a sequel to "The Number 23"....

Which was in fact an excellent film ^_~

My full name has eighteen letters in it. So clearly, I will die when I'm eighteen. Or eighty-one. Or one + eight, which equals nine, in which case I should already be dead. Or perhaps we can consider my birthday, February 12th, 1991. Or the year of my high school graduation, 2009, or the year of my college graduation, 2013. Golly, I could come up with any number I wanted from those!

Yes, it is like when they find "predictions" in the Bible...well, guess what, they used the same method and found stuff in Moby Dick, too; it's just a matter of statistics.

Except of course that there was no Q33 flight. And the NY bit, well, NY is just one of the many things you could associate with it, such as AQ (al qaeda), OBL (osama), TT (twin towers), WTC (world trade center), and so on. NY just happened to have the stuff in it that the chain-letter people wanted.

It's okay, Syddles. We all fall for these sorts of things. I was weirded out by it too when I got it a while back, but I check Snopes muchlys and thought, "hang on, this sounds fishy."

I'm going to try that with the Principia Discordia.

Ooh, and something by John Waters.
