Email I received today
Right, look at this and see if you think it a coincidence!!
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) George W Bush 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
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 unconvinced 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
What do you think now?

Hmmm. The Koran stuff (at minimum) is wrong.
It's easy to find numerical coincidences like this after the fact. I wouldn't put much faith in the Qu'ran stuff though. [link|http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/k/koran/koran-idx?type=DIV0&byte=282392|9.11]: [9.11] 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. [link|http://www.islamicity.com/MOSQUE/ARABICSCRIPT/AYAT/9/9_11.htm|Another version]: English (Yusuf Ali): (Recite) 9:11 But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith: (thus) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand. [link|http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/quran911.asp|Snopes] says as much too, and talks about the numerology of [link|http://www.snopes.com/rumors/elevens.asp|9/11]. Cheers, Scott. (Who notes this is the 140th day of the year: 1+4+0 = 5, and "Scott" has 5 letters. Spooky! :-)

My own personal theory about the number 911...
Just looking at the raw data, we are given that: - 911 is a positive integer greater than 1
- 911 is a prime number
From this, we should be able to conclude that every positive integer greater than 1 can be written uniquely as a prime or as the product of two or more primes. I think I'll call this The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. (In the interest of mysticism, I suppose I should mention that this hypothesis was first stumbled upon in ancient times, several hundred years before the time of Christ, and was recently selected #80 of the [link|http://personal.stevens.edu/~nkahl/Top100Theorems.html|The Hundred Greatest Theorems]. Even Da Vinci was probably exposed to this theorem).

What I think?
It's complete bollocks.
Half those numbers have been adjusted to make the woo-woo theory work.
Edit: None of the planes involved in the attacks had a flight number Q33NY.
Edit 2: For fuck's sake, the text you've got there is exactly what's on the Snopes page [link|http://www.snopes.com/rumors/coincidence.asp|debunking] the whole thing. Don't you check anything before you cut and paste the email, sans the "FW: FW: FW: FW: FW: RE: FW: you gotta check this out" subject line?

This would be Oh Pun material but it's tedious
Yet another conspiracy nut seeking and cherry picking patterns from vast oceans of meaningless data. Or someone baiting those who don't use cause and effect. Please don't forward this to anyone gullible. Humanity does not need people who believe human behaviour can be understood through mystical patterns. They need to learn people can be understood by their values and beliefs.

Ah, but 'wearing foil'....
But 'Wearing tinfoil hats', now. Lessee.
That's 18 letters. No good.
But Wait! 1+8 = 9; if you add whitespaces, then it's 9+2! 11!
