Darren Copeland, the Colorado Conservative, notes this about yesterday's attack on Madrid:
Today is 3-11...two-and-a-half years to the day since 9-11. That figures to 911 days since 9-11.
Conspiratorial? Yes, but very interesting.
I don't play numerology games -- but that doesn't mean al Qaeda doesn't.
Hmm. Very close. According to http://www.timeanddate.com it is 912 days. This is a leap year.
But still interesting. Except that al-Qaeda has not been into numerology and special dates earlier, probably to remain unpredictable.
Not quite -- 912 days. Although perhaps the ignorant punks who did this forgot leap year....
I don't believe the failthful run by the Gregorian calendar; thus, a numerology conspiracy would seem to need an extra layer.
Yes, failthful.
More to the point, the date "9-11" in the places where these bastards come from corresponds to November 9.
I think it more likely this and the March 11 date are coincidences.
Evan is right, though anything that makes Europeans think of Madrid and 9/11 in the same breath is to be encouraged.
9/11 is November 9th, as Evan says, not only where these bastards come from, but also all over Europe. The Madrid blast happened on 11/3 there.
I'm vindicated. 3-11 IS 911 Days after 9-11. Check out http://snopes.com/rumors/madrid.asp
Nice to be proven right....sorry about the gloating
