The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Before you go off on one about these 'coincidences', please take the time to read the whole thing carefuly. I got it from a humour mailing list I'm on.
Also please be aware that I am not making light of what happened. I'm just posting this to show what things people can make up if they're willing, because I was suckered into believing a few similar things at the time of the tragedy.
Though initially it may seem like bad taste (I thought so), once you've read it all, I'm sure you'll agree that it isn't.

WTC Tragedy and The Number 11
If you read the email going around about the number "11" for the past few weeks, you will love David's response to it. I don't know who David is, but his response is hilarious!!! Make sure you read beyond the Original Letter!
Original Letter:
The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
September 11th is the 254th day of the year:
2 + 5 + 4 = 11
After September 11th there are 111 days left to
the end of the year.
119 is the area code to Iraq/Iran.
1 + 1 + 9 = 11
Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like
the number 11
The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11
I Have More.......
State of New York - The 11th State added to the
Union
New York City - 11 Letters
Afghanistan - 11 Letters
The Pentagon - 11 Letters
Ramzi Yousef - 11 Letters (convicted or orchestrating
the attack at the WTC in 1993)
Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 = 11
Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11
Dave's response:
Oh my God! How worried should I be? There are 11 letters in the name "David Pawson!" I'm going into hiding NOW. See you in a few weeks.
Wait a sec ... just realized "YOU CAN'T HIDE" also has 11 letters! What am I gonna do? Help me!!! The terrorists are after me! ME! I can't believe it!
Oh crap, there must be someplace on the planet Earth I could hide! But no ..."PLANET EARTH" has 11 letters, too!
Maybe Nostradamus can help me. But dare I trust him? There are 11 letters in "NOSTRADAMUS."
I know, the Red Cross can help. No they can't...11 letters in "THE RED CROSS," can't trust them.
I would rely on self defense, but "SELF DEFENSE" has 11 letters in it, too! Can someone help?
Anyone? If so, send me email. No, don't..."SEND ME EMAIL" has 11 letters....
Will this never end? I'm going insane! "GOING INSANE???" Eleven letters!!
Nooooooooooo!!!!!! I guess I'll die alone, even though "I'LL DIE ALONE" has 11 letters.....
Oh my God, I just realized that America is doomed! Our Independence Day is July 4th ... 7/4 ... 7+4!
Dave
PS. "IT'S BULLSH*T" has 11 letters also.

Tarrant, you notice it was a Dave that sent that in, not an Ian, or a Bob or anything.
Dave comes up trumps again!

It might be more believable if there was any significant note about the number 11 being linked to the people who did it, like
Date of american attack on them in 1992 - 11th november
or something
But apparently the flight numbers one is wrong.

Hmmmmm, well perhaps someone out there is a tad bit paranoid about all of this. But it was very fortuitous but you can't deny it is pretty creepy and all of those numbers in the year.
That last line summed it up for me...
