I look at the clock and it says 9:11pm, now most of you know what that means (September 11th, 9-1-1, also the time my little sister was born :lol: ). Pretty weird huh?

 

 

 

Same here. But I don't have my digital clock anymore, I have a regular alarm clock with hands and everything that looks like a drum set, and put it across the room so I actually have to get up to turn it off, preventing me from just smacking it and falling back asleep which I used to do frequently. So I can't see it too well anymore in the dark.

i talk to myself.

 

i have an ability in my mind when normaly im weak and puny but when im in a fight or my cousins are hurt im stronges.

 

That isn't an ability, It's called adrenaline, it happens when your subconcious mind thinks that you are in danger and it unleashes a sort of energy which makes you much stronger. note: Subconcisous meaning you can't activate adrenaline your self. I wish you could :pray:

 

 

 

 

 

as for me i refuse to sleep and I turn my light on from the times of 3:15 to 4:00 ( I think it was the time Jesus died) making it the time of the demons

I don't believe in coincidents, i just believe that everything is how i want it to be. So if something unlikely happens, than it isn't a coincidence, it's just how i wanted it to be. Problem is, that it's hard to affect, what you truely want. Most of the time, when something unlikely happens, i have this feeling that it will happen beforehand.

 

 

 

btw: Hi everybody! Don't know if you remember me. Just thought i have to drop by.

if i have a dream i try my best to do what i did in my dream because i believe i will have a bad day if i don't. makes for some pretty fun days :thumbsup:

Often when I glance at a clock there's some coincidence in the time. For example: 3:45, 1:23, 5:43.
Yeah same. 11:11 is a common one for me and people like Uri Gellar and other Numerologists will claim its all mystic and rubbish but its actually a lot more common than you think to see patterns in times and these is nothing supernatural about it. This pageexplains it nicely without the woo woo explanations given by most other sites on the subject.

 

 

 

Coincidences happen by chance far often than you might plausibly thing, couple with the fact that its easier to remember all the times you see the time 11:11 than 16:53 it becomes quite easy to understand why you see these times more often compared to others.

 

 

 

Take the birthday paradox for example. In probability theory, the birthday paradox states that given a group of 23 (or more) randomly chosen people, the probability is more than 50% that some pair of them will have the same birthday. For 57 or more people, the probability is greater than 99%. It seems hard to belive at first given that there is 365 days in a year that only 23 people are needed in a group to share your birthday but its true.

Did you read that in Unweaving the Rainbow? I thought his explanation of it was brilliant. :)

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

I didn't get it from a Dawkins book no, i'm pretty sure Randi wrote about it a few years back. Thats when i read it.

Ah, Dawkins did a good explanation of it in that book I mentioned under a chapter about coincidences, and how a lot of them are more likely than we might first expect.

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

I walk over two drains for goodluck but never three because that is bad luck.
