It's very strange.... Coincidence?

"In the City of York will have a great collapse, twin brothers will fall down and the fortress
wiil fall apart wherein the great leader will succumb to a third great war." - Nostradamus

-City of York : New York City
Twin Brothers will fall : WTC Twin Towers
Fortress will fall apart : Pentagon
The great leader will succumb to 3rd great war : Pres. bush hesitates but will declare WAR


Are you guys familiar with Nostradamus?
This is a quake from one of his predictions:
"In the year of the new century and nine months,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror...
The sky will burn at forty-five degrees.
Fire approaches the great new city..."

2001 is the first year of the new century and this is the 9th month.
New York is located at the 41st degree Latitude.
He also said that this will be the third World War and it would be
bigger than the last two wars. I hope he is wrong, but judging from his
predictions of Hitler, Napoleon, and Pearl Harbor....



The date of the attack: 9/11 : 9 + 1 + 1 =3D 11
September 11th is the254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 =3D 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 =3D 11
Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11
The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11

There's 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 th=
e
WTC in
1993)
Flight 11 - 92 on board - 9 + 2 =3D 11
Flight 77 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 =3D 11

* Water makes up 73 percent of the human body.
* Your brain is 80% water.
* Nearly 97 percent of the world's water is salty or otherwise undrinkable. Another 2 percent is locked in ice caps and glaciers. That leaves just one percent for all of humanity's needs - all its agricultural, residential, manufacturing, community and personal needs.
* internal linkJellyfish are 95% water.
* 75 percent of the human brain is water and 75 percent of a living tree is water.
* Scientists have determined that there is the same amount of water on Earth today as there was when the Earth was formed.
* The koala bear and the desert rat do not drink water.
* A rat can last longer without water than a internal linkcamel.
* One species of antelope, the Sitatunga, can sleep underwater.
* The average American consumes 1,500 pounds of food each year. 1,000 gallons of water are required to grow and internal linkprocess each pound of that food. This means that in the U.S., in a single year, an average of 1.5 million gallons of water is invested in the food eaten by just one person. This 200,000-cubic-feet-plus of water-per-person would be enough to cover a football field four feet deep.
* 96% of a cucumber is water.
* Ninety eight per cent of the weight of water is made up from oxygen.
* When you are boiling things at higher altitudes than sea level, the actual boiling temperatures of all liquids will be less than they are at sea level!!!

We should rename this to The 60 fallacious truths - the irony

FACTS OR FALLACY? Hmmmmm...It's for us to find out. :D

[mikaztro]

BS! - The increased electricity used by modern appliances is causing a shift in the Earth's magnetic field. By the year 2327, the North Pole will be located in mid-Kansas, while the South Pole will be just off the coast of East Africa.

FACT - The magnetic poles naturally move, that is why there are new navigation charts issued every few years to correct for the displacement of the poles. That is also why Siberia a few thousand years ago was tropical and not frigid as it is today, since a big difference in the position of the magnetic poles and the true poles can cause the earth to wobble and change it's axis of rotation.


BS! - Human saliva has a boiling point three times that of regular water.

FACT - Saliva is 99.9% water and its boiling point is only a few degrees higher.


BS! - Due to the natural "momentum" of the ocean, saltwater fish cannot swim backwards.

FACT - Obviously the author does not watch Animal Planet, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. Coral fishes can and do swim backwards, as many other salt water fishes.

I've checked on the internet, Saliva consist of Plasma(4.3 % body weight), Albumin, Mucin, Amino acids, Electrolytes, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Phospate, Chloride, Cholesterol and 95-97% water. The boiling point of specific liquid(saliva) depends on the altitude and amounts of its parametrics(electrolytes) & water. The specified parametrics are considered high boiling point substance.
