CABL Forum - Re: 11

If you type in Quran 9-11 verse on Google, you will see what the real version is, and it doesn't even compare with what is put out there...I found the following below on one of the sites about the guy who started this thing after 9-11...I copied and pasted it for general info.....sounds like this guy doesn't have anything better to do! The text follows..

Hoagland's silly numerology goes even farther, taking on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Hoagland's claims are really, really silly. He asserts that there are lots of 11's associated with this event:

"New York City (where the major attack occurred) consists of 11 letters"
"New York was the 11th state admitted into the Union"
"Each WTC Tower had 110 floors, which is a multiple of 11"
... and other similar claims.
Still with me? Now, as I recall, the planes didn't hit in Brooklyn, or the Bronx, so using New York City's letters isn't fair. But then, those borough names don't have letters that add up to 11! Also, as I recall, a plane went down in Pennsylvania (12 letters, and the second state to be admitted to the Union) as well as Virginia (8 letters, tenth state). Why did Hoagland leave those off? I was born in Virginia, is this a conspiracy against me? That logic is just as silly as his.

Clearly, Hoagland is just doing whatever he can to find numbers that somehow pertain to 11, and ignoring those that don't. That's a big nono. Of all of his silliness, it's stuff like this that makes me wonder if he's really serious. After all, it's not a great idea to be agreeing with known charlatan Uri Geller.

But maybe you want more? I decided to think about how "Coast to Coast AM" might also have numbers like this. So let's pick 7. Why? Why not? It's just as random as 11.

There are seven letters in "Art Bell"
If you let the letters in the alphabet represent numbers, with a=1, b=2, and so on, you get:
c+o+a+s+t + t+o + c+o+a+s+t = 151, and 1+5+1 = 7
a+r+t + b+e+l+l = 70, and 7+0 = 7 (and 7 letters in his name too!)
Alan Corbeth helped create "Coast to Coast AM" with Art Bell. a+l+a+n + c+o+r+b+e+t+h + a+r+t + b+e+l+l = 169, and 1+6+9 = 16, and 1+6 = 7
g+e+o+r+g+e + n+o+o+r+y + a+r+t + b+e+l+l = 214, and 2+1+4 = 7
h+o+a+g+l+a+n+d + c+y+d+o+n+i+a = 133, and 1+3+3 = 7
Get the point? I actually tried a lot of combinations, but I only show you the ones that add up to 7. Most of the words I tried didn't work. Hoagland has done the same thing with 9/11, and he also does it with the city he claims has mathematical relationships.
Here's another one: h+o+a+g+l+a+n+d + i+s + w+r+o+n+g = 167, which has a 7 in it, and the remaining two numbers are 1+6 = 7. Perhaps that one can be paired with this one: t+h+e + b+a+d + a+s+t+r+o+n+o+m+e+r + i+s + r+i+g+h+t = 268, and 2+6+8 = 16, and 1+6 = 7! Ain't math grand?

Oh one more thing, because I love irony: m+a+n+h+a+t+t+a+n = 92, and 9+2 = 11. He missed this one. Maybe I'll send him an email.

I could go on and on. A random search of Hoagland's site turns up some really ridiculous stuff besides his usual really ridiculous stuff. Take a look and decide for yourself.
