On his web site, Uri Geller has a list of things he connects with the number 11. He believes this number to be all-important. E.g. he attaches meaning to the fact that some people have noticed their clocks sometimes show the numbers "11:11".
He says on his web site:
"The endless reoccurrence of these hours 11:11, 11:01, 11:10, 10:01, 10:11, 10:10, 01:01 represents a positive connection and a gateway to the mysteries of the universe and beyond."
Not a word on 22:22 or any combination of that.
Into the realms of silliness we go...
As distasteful as it might seem, here is Uri Geller's list of reasons why the number 11 is connected with the WTC/Pentagon attacks on September 11th, 2001, along with my comments.
Date-Time related In which we learn the basics of numerology: Attach significance only to the numbers that fit your agenda.
"The date of the attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11"
If the date is so important, then why not the time? The more precise, the better, right?
"September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2+5+4 = 11"
It isn't always - on leap-year, it's the 255th. Hey, that's hex(FF), the biggest number you can have with one byte! Coincidence?
"After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year."
But 1+1+1 = 3? Why can we add "9+1+1" as well as "2+5+4" and get significance from that and not from this number? "The World Trade Center was built from 1966 to 1977 ... taking 11 years."
When is a building "finished"? The ground breaking was August 5th, 1966. The ribbon was cut April 4th, 1973, taking less than 7 years. "Pentagon ground breaking ceremony was on September 11, 1941 "
This day is important, but the ground breaking day of the WTC is not? "Remembrance day is November 11.... "
Remembrance Day came about when the German government accepted the armistice, ending World War I, in 1918. Neither Osama bin Laden, Afghanistan or the WTC existed in 1918. "World War one officially ended at 11.11 "
The armistice was signed at 5:10am, November 11th, 1918, to be effective 6 hours later, which is 11:10am. "56 years have passed since the end of world war two 5+6 =11 "
83 years have passed since the end of World War One: 8+3 = 11. Missed that one, Uri! "The # of story is 110 (2x) 110 - 110 11:11"
No, that's 110-110. Not "11:11", when nothing happened anyway. "November is also the 11th month"
No shit... But the attacks happened in September, Sherlock. "Fourth of July, is the seventh month so 4+7 = 11 (Independence Day)"
Flag Day is June 14th: 6+1+4=11. Missed that one, Uri!
"John Kennedy his death was a big tragedy as was the attacks on the American people"
JFK, born May 29, 1917. 5+29+1+9+1+7 = 52. "Flight 93 crashed into a Pennsylvania field at 10.10 AM, remove the zeroes = 11"
"Uri Geller born 20, Dec.1946. 1+9+4+6+2+0=22. 11+11=22"
Aha! Uri is involved! Maybe the FBI should bring him in for questioning....who knows, he might use his pendulum to find Osama bin Laden on a map of Afghanistan! "Nikita Kruschev died 30 years ago on September 11 1971"
William Sydney Porter, American short-story writer who used the pseudonym O. Henry, born September 11, 1862. I can see a more sinister connection here! Can't you??
JFK, died November 22, 1963. 11+22+1+9+6+3 = 52.
There are 52 weeks in a year! (Well, most of the time...)
