Me thinks we&#8217;re all bozos on this bus. Either that or have entered the Twilight Zone? Anyone believe in fate?  Superstitions? Occult? Black Magic?<br \/>\nAbra Cadabra? I Dream of Jeannie? Supernatural? The Holocaust?<br \/>\nDo you believe in Magic? Lovin&#8217; Spoonful? I could go on, but I&#8217;ll spare you guys.<\/p>\n<p>1) New York City has 11 letters<\/p>\n<p>2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.<\/p>\n<p>3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.<\/p>\n<p>4) George W Bush has 11 letters.<\/p>\n<p>This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:<\/p>\n<p>1) New York is the 11th state.<\/p>\n<p>2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.<\/p>\n<p>3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11<\/p>\n<p>4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6 + 5 = 11<\/p>\n<p>5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9\/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11<\/p>\n<p>6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.<\/p>\n<p>Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:<\/p>\n<p>1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.<\/p>\n<p>2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.<\/p>\n<p>3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3\/11\/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.<\/p>\n<p>4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.<\/p>\n<p>Now this is where things get totally eerie:<\/p>\n<p>The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars &#038; Stripes, is the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.<\/p>\n<p>Still unconvinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:<\/p>\n<p>Open Microsoft Word and do the following:<\/p>\n<p>1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.<\/p>\n<p>2. Highlight the Q33 NY.<\/p>\n<p>3. Change the font size to 48.<\/p>\n<p>4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS<\/p>\n<p>What do you think now?!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just ran across this tidbit of info.
