I remember checking the time on 07/08/09. It was 11 minutes past 10 so I checked the time on 07/08/09 at 10:11. The awesomeness of that literally made my head explode.

x in the city · 23-08-2009 2:40am

my point is

this girl i know goes to a shop and gets a bill for the exact age she is on her birthday

down to the last cent

seems a pretty freaky thing to happen, its not like she bargained her grocery list down to the last 31 cent :rolleyes:

i was being serious in my post btw, it is actually a recognized phenomenon known as synchronicity, i think its a jungian concept

Pensk · 23-08-2009 12:37pm

I checked my credit. €6.66
I checked my bebo. 666 profile views and 66 friends.
I went to the butcher's who just happened to be giving out free raffle tickets. My number? 666
I watched a youtube video. 666 comments (I screenshotted this)
My suitcase with a number lock. 000, 999, 666. This all happened in a pretty recent amount of time too, like a month?

I'm serious.

I went to the local shop (called 8 to 8, but it's opn until 10) during the olympics opening ceremony last year. My bill was rung through at 20.08 for a total of 7.45. I considered throwing a handful of penny sweets in there to make it up to €8.08 but realised that would be just too sad.

Only ever 100 years do we get the whole 01/01/01, 04/04/04, 09/09/09 etc. thing going on, so isn't it weird that we, in the midst of all our coincidental (or not) revelations, are living in that time...?

Haha. This thread is funny. Also a little stupid.:p

There was a few weeks recently when every time I looked at the clock before I went to sleep it was 10:23 p.m. No joke. How weird..! And the first time it happened, I had just watched that psychological movie with Jim Carey called The Number 23!! :eek:
