From 9/11/01 to 3/11/04 (Madrid bombings) was exactly 911 days.

Steve Gilliard noted this on his blog, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. I've heard some talk about exactly 2-1/2 years between attacks, but nothing about 911 days--a closer link for people who are trying to use numbers for a symbolic taunt. Has anyone heard the 911 days "coincidence" mentioned elsewhere? And, isn't this more circumstantial evidence that the bombings were the work of AQ?

1. I saw that in a wire story on Firday--pretty f**king obvious it was AQ,

and that Anzar and his government are filthy liars.

2. No, it was really a gas leak

[joeybee12]

3. Who's Anzar's?

I know he's full of shit, but that's a lot of gas to do that much damage!

4. If you wanted AQ to take the rap then

you might make it 911 days and leave a few Arabic documents laying around and such.

The again it might really be AQ.

So how do we really know?

5. "exactly"?

Not quite.

It's 912 days.

6. If you count both 9/11 and 3/11--but it's 911 24-hour periods

[Dookus]

7. Nope...

not counting 9/11. It's 912 days.

8. Then don't count 3/11...

...and you get 911.

[Dookus]

9. LOL

umm... ok.

any other days you wanna not count just to make this mathematically false claim true?

It's 912 days. Not 911. There is an accepted way to count days. Just like counting anything else - you start with one, find another, then proceed to two. Find another, go to three. Etc. etc.

There are 912 days between 9/11/01 and 3/11/04. This is just silly numerological nonsense to try to tie it in to 9/11

11. You're right...I checked that the other day. Wrote up a little program to

convert dates to Julian if anybody wants to play around with a little
C code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>

void main() {

int mo,da,yr,jy,jm,jd,mil,thou,hnd;

long jj,j1,j2;
struct date today;

getdate(&today);
mo=jm=today.da_mon;
da=jd=today.da_day;
yr=jy=today.da_year;
if(jm > 2) jm -=3;
else {
jm +=9;
jy --;
}
j2 = jy/100;
j1 = jy -100 * j2;

jj = (146097L * j2 / 4) + (1461 * j1 / 4) + ((153 * jm + 2) /5) + jd + 1721119L;
mil=jj/1000000L;
thou=(jj-(mil*1000000L))/1000;
hnd=(jj-mil*1000000L-thou*1000);


printf("\nToday is: %02d-%02d-%d - Julian day: %d,%03d,%03d\n",mo,da,yr,mil,thou,hnd);

}

10. Even if true, that proves A-Q involvement about as much as.........

......the cassette tape of the Koran proves the van was driven by a blind Muslim cleric who left his talking book in the cassette deck because he couldn't see it . :evilgrin:

Ronald (6 letters) Wilson (6 letters!) Reagen (6 letters!?!) OMG! He MUST be the anti-Christ! :tinfoilhat: :crazy:
