Wierd #'s “Just got this from someone....people with too much time on their hands. Subject: Coincidence? 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 11 State added to the Union New York City , 11 Letters Afghanistan , 11 Letters The Pentagon ,11 Letters Ramzi Yousef , 11 Letters (convicted of orchestrating the attack on the WTC in 1993) Flight 11 : 92 on board , 9 + 2 = 11 Flight 77 : 65 on board ,6 + 5 = 11” 11:13:44 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “...and you posted sometime during the 11th hour of today. Wierd!” 11:15:28 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “Police and firefighters responded to the emergency...911. 9+1+1= 11” 11:25:23 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “ummmm...Buddur....it's the 23rd hour of the day...” 11:26:27 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “2-3=-1 3-2=1 -11?” 11:28:02 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “Firefighter has 11 letters.” 11:28:33 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “Buddur wierd is spelled WEIRD GOTCHA! (btw, I spelled it wrong for years)” 11:37:20 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “11 is a prime number. As is 19, the number of hijackers. As is 3, the numer of targets hit. As is 5, the number of sides on the Pentagon. As is 13, the number of letters in Osama Bin Laden.” 11:44:43 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “So the I before E, except after C rule doesn't apply, eh? Weird!” 11:48:07 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “You're right Buddur, I started typing this in at around 11:11 pm...now that's weird...I didn't even realize it. Biz, ya got me too...thanks for the correction.” 11:51:41 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “Ya'll are wired or weird in my book.” 11:55:13 PM 9/17/01 RE: Wierd #'s “Chey, U R weird...U R the 11th person to post on this thread.” 12:37:33 AM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “Chey, what part of Wyoming are you from? Welcome! And I see you've already got the right idea about us! hahahaha WEIRD (lessee if that comes out right, I can do links, but can I do italics??)” 6:59:49 AM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “Many 7-11's are owned and/or staffed by people of Middle East extraction.” 8:15:17 AM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “On 9/11, many people used 11 digit phone numbers to call and check on loved ones 1 + A/C + number.” 9:16:31 AM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “Kewl...ummmmm, but Iraq's area code is 964 and Iran's is 98. KLEETY SUCKS has exactly 11 letters!” 9:37:07 AM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “i'm way into numerology! a few months ago my friend Cheryl and i were engaging in some fun with chemistry. she had this experience in which she was 7 years old again, back in her family's apartment in NYC (where she's from). she said the number 11 kept recurring in her thoughts, and i was immediately reminded of this Tool song. she listened to it, and said it was eerie how well her experience and the song meshed. i just thought i'd share the lyrics...i think they speak to this situation, too, in a weird way... "Jimmy" What was it like to see the face of your own stability suddenly look away leaving you with the dead and hopeless? Eleven and she was gone. Eleven is when we waved good-bye. Eleven is standing still, waiting for me to free him by coming home. Moving me with a sound. Opening me within a gesture. Drawing me down and in, showing me where it all began, Eleven. It took so long to realize that you hold the light that's been leading me back home. Under a dead Ohio sky, defending his light, and wondering... where the hell have I been? Sleeping, lost, and numb. So glad that I have found you. I am wide awake and heading home. Hold your light, Eleven. Lead me through each gentle step by step by inch by loaded memory. I'll move to heal as soon as pain allows so we can reunite and both move on together. Hold your light, eleven. Lead me through each gentle step by step by inch by loaded memory 'till one and one are one, eleven, so glow, child, glow. I'm heading back home.” 11:24:31 AM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “WTF? Is that about eleven inches of pleasure? We don't need to go THERE!” 11:30:35 AM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “"Under a dead Ohio sky, defending his light, and wondering... where the hell have I been?" I was wondering why the sky is black today!” 11:44:45 AM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “And Temprat is Tarpies 11th name on TT!” 12:25:42 PM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “oh! and you wanna know something ELSE weird? i went to Charleston, WV to visit my parents over the weekend, and my dad told me that there is a mosque there that has had the following graffiti on it for a YEAR: "bin Laden" and "911." i asked him why they hadn't removed the graffiti, and he said he didn't know, but he's seen it himself!” 12:28:50 PM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “too weird.” 12:50:59 PM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “I've got HOs I've got HOs, in different area codes (area, area codes..codes) HOs, HOs, in different area codes (area, area codes..codes) Now you thought I was just something something no In 4-0-4, I'm worldwide b!tch, act like yall don't know It's the abominabol hit man Globe-trot international post man Neighborhood dope man 7-1-8s, 2-0-2's I send small cities and states I-O-U's 9-0-1, matter fact 3-0-5 I'll jump off the d-4, we can meet outside So control your hormones and keep your drawers on 'Til I close the door and I'm jumping your bone 3-1-2, 3-1-3, 2-1-5, 8-0-3 Read your hor-o-scope and eat some hor-derves Ten I pump one these hos is self serve 7-5-7, 4-1-0, my cell phone says overload I've got HOs I've got HOs, in different area codes (area, area codes..codes) HOs, HOs, in different area codes (area, area codes..codes) Now everyday is a hol-i-day So stop the violence and put the gun away, skeet shoot a ho today 5-0-4, 9-7-2 7-1-3, whatcha gon do You checkin up the scene, I'm checkin tonight With perpendicular vehicular homicide 3-1-4, 2-0-1 Too much green, too much fun I bang hos in Bangkok Can't stop, I turn and hit the same spot Think not, I'm the thrilla in Manilla, Fu&kin in Hong Kong Pimp em like Bishop, magic Don Juan Man after Henny with a coke and a smile I just pick up the muthafu&kin phone and dial I got my condoms in a big-sack I'm slaggin this like a New Jack Is it cuz they like my gangsta walk?

An example of this is 70 because the sum of its divisors is 1+2+5+7+10+14+35 = 74. As you can see 74 is greater than 70 so it is "abundant" and in addition, no set of divisors when you add them up will give you 70. Therefore 70 is a "weird" number Problem: Find all of the odd weird numbers. HISTORICAL NOTE: Erdos, the Hungarian number theorist once offered $10 in 1971 for an example of an odd weird number or $25 dollars for proof that none exists.” 5:26:31 PM 9/18/01 RE: Wierd #'s “September 11 has 11 characters. 9/11 = 911 = emergency... as in National emergency” 5:46:01 AM 9/19/01 “Thursday, December 11, 2003 Posted: 10:24 AM EST (1524 GMT) DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- More than 200,000 computers spent years looking for the largest known prime number. It turned up on Michigan State University graduate student Michael Shafer's off-the-shelf PC. "It was just a matter of time," Shafer said. The number is 6,320,430 digits long and would need 1,400 to 1,500 pages to write out. It is more than 2 million digits larger than the previous largest known prime number. Shafer, 26, helped find the number as a volunteer on an eight-year-old project called the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. Tens of thousands of people volunteered the use of their PCs in a worldwide project that harnessed the power of 211,000 computers, in effect creating a supercomputer capable of performing 9 trillion calculations per second. Participants could run the mathematical analysis program on their computers in the background, as they worked on other tasks. Shafer ran an ordinary Dell computer in his office for 19 days until November 17, when he glanced at the screen and saw "New Mersenne prime found." A prime number is a positive number divisible only by itself and one: 2, 3, 5, 7 and so on. Mersenne primes are a special category, expressed as 2 to the "p" power minus 1, where "p" also is a prime number. In the case of Shafer's discovery, it was 2 to the 20,996,011th power minus 1. The find was independently verified by other participants in the project. Mersenne primes are rare but are critical to the branch of mathematics called number theory. That said, what is the practical significance of Shafer's number? Trivia question for math nerds.” 9:10:32 PM 12/11/03 “Thursday, December 11, 2003 Posted: 10:24 AM EST (1524 GMT) DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- More than 200,000 computers spent years looking for the largest known prime number.
