[QUOTE=Negrul1;33843572]999, and the person you quoted 000, assuming the flag is accurate[/QUOTE] okay, let me clarify. what number do americans call when there is an emergency?
No, because his "prediction" of Napoleon is both subjective (implying Napoleon was the sole instigator of the so-called "Napoleonic Wars", which he was not) and far too broad.
No, there are no flying pigmen.
NO. And here's why: [Quote=Wikipedia]The Texas sharpshooter fallacy is a logical fallacy in which pieces of information that have no relationship to one another are called out for their similarities, and that similarity is used for claiming the existence of a pattern. This fallacy is the philosophical/rhetorical application of the multiple comparisons problem in statistics, and apophenia in cognitive psychology. It is related to the clustering illusion, which refers to [b]the tendency in human cognition to interpret patterns in randomness where none actually exist.[/b] The name comes from a joke about a Texan who fires some shots at the side of a barn, then paints a target centered on the biggest cluster of hits and claims to be a sharpshooter.[/quote] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy[/url] When we try to analize something, we think we can take randomness into account. Thruth is: we can't. Our consciousness always tries to find patterns into two pieces of information that really doesn't have any correlation. Our brain really can't grasp randomness.
Funny, because he said 2008 till 2012 was the time of troubles.

[QUOTE=Shifty Pete;33834104]Go ahead and do it, prove me wrong.[/QUOTE] what reason, in dear god's name, would the illuminati (or whoever you think was responsible for 9/11) have to hide the date of a future terrorist attack in a throwaway shot in an action movie? [editline]27th December 2011[/editline] what possible motive could they have to put a hint at their super-secret master terror plan into a frame in a movie so brief that no casual viewer would ever notice it?
No.
I bet Nostradamus really did predict the future so accurately, but they were only mundane events which barely anyone noticed.
