Peculiar pint glass predicts death

[manasecret]

There is a pub in the Garden District of New Orleans called the Bulldog. It's on the semi-famous Magazine St. They have a special deal every Wednesday night. The special is that every time you buy a pint of beer from a choice of any of their fifty beers on tap, you get to keep the Bulldog pint glass. And, no, despite what you might guess, you get a free pint glass with every order, not just the first one. So you could easily walk out of there with a stack of five pint glasses and on up to however much you like to drink. :)

Pretty good deal, don't you think? I certainly try to make it every Wednesday, pint glasses are useful glasses for lots of drinks besides just beer.

So they've had this deal for many years now. The way they afford is just to buy a serious amount of pint glasses in bulk.

Going to the Bulldog nowadays, after Katrina happened and the city is still in shambles, there's one pint glass that was made before Katrina but they're stilling giving away that everyone notices something peculiar about.

Makes you think.

Yeah, that is weird.

And man I'd love to go to that bar.

yea, not too suprising, I mean it was fairly well known that if that levee ever broke there would be serious problems. I'll bet it was a topic of discussion down there, jokingly, but also half serious like.

It's not surprising at all, you're right. If you ask locals, they'll tell you they learned in grade school that if the levees break Nola would act like a bowl and essentially many people would die.

And yeah, again you're absolutely right. Everyone notices it and at first kinda laughs about it, but then no one speaks another word about it and get on with collecting pint glasses. We didn't go out to feel down.

Has anyone investigated the pint glass further, by tracking it back to its origin to find who made the prediction?

[Canyarion]

There are much much more detailed and less obvious predictions in the bible, but most people just neglect them. :(

Such as?

Are you talking about the Bible Code? I remember reading this book about the Bible Code a few years ago. The Bible Code is essentially starting at some letter, then skipping say the next 200 letters and then writing down the next letter, then skipping the next 200 letters, then writing the next letter, and so on, until messages start appearing.

For example, take the following sentence.

"And Lord Xenu said unto Chef, you will die."

Put it all together without punctuation.

AndLordXenusaiduntoChefyouwilldie

Start, say, at the letter n and skip every other letter. We get:

n L r X n s i u t C e y u i l i

Hmm, there seems to be nothing. What if we start with the A and skip every other letter?

A d o d e u a d n o h f o w l d e

OMG, IT SAYS "no fowl"!!!!!!1! OMG, the world will end when all the fowl have died!!@!@

Kidding aside, that really is what people believe about the Bible Code. Obviously doing it by computer makes it a lot easier to search for words. Their proof that the Bible Code is real is that they say it only works for the Bible. They've tried it on other oversized tripe err.. books, and they don't get anything that predicts the end of the world. Also, they say the Bible Code has predicted many heavenly events that have already come to pass, such as predicting the year that humans landed on the moon or when certain comets hit the Earth.

I don't buy it.

However, I do remember one year from that book -- 2006. The apocolypse is supposed to occur this year. Truthfully, I think the apocolypse would explain a lot of recent events....

So thats why the sky is raining fire and people keep getting banned to eternal damnation.



Anyways, I've never believed anything a pint glass says. I do however believe what the pint glass brings upon me.

[Canyarion]

Nono, I don't mean those bible code things. Honestly I don't believe in those.
I'm talking about prophecies. For example the book of Daniël.... it contains so many predictions (though always with abstract wording, but too detailed to be coincidence) about empires and kingdoms in our history (but in the future of Daniël).

People just don't wanna believe it I guess.... If you want more specific examples, ask me.

A more specific example please...if you don't mind

[Jason1]

Wow, actually right for once...feels pretty good.

[manasecret]

Yeah, exactly. So you're getting fire rain and eternal damnation up around Vancouver, too? That's surprising, I thought only Americans were ruining the world. :)

Ok, I'll try.

In the book of Daniel, he describes a vision of 4 beasts coming from the sea. An angel gives him explanation, that they symbolise world dominions, starting with Babylon (the one that ruled when Daniel lived). Next empires are Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. From Rome, other (smaller) empires emerge, symbolised by 10 horns that grow on the last beast. This is when things start to get mor detailed and interesting.
Daniel 7:8 - I kept on considering the horns, and, look! another horn, a small one, came up in among them, and there were three of the first horns that were plucked up from before it. And, look! there were eyes like the eyes of a man in this horn, and there was a mouth speaking grandiose things.

This new horn is England. History shows that England defeated (in different ways) France, Spain and Holland, who were up till then much bigger nations.
We know that England colonized America, together they became a new world dominion.

The vision goes on with describing further developments around the horn, but I'll spare you those.


This is only a fragment. The profecy is longer and muuuch more detailed. And there are at least 40 (haven't counted them) other things like these in the bible.
Sure, you can always find a way NOT to believe it. It will always be a matter of faith, but it sure is worth researching. If you'd like to do so, you can PM me for some possibilities or something.... :)

But it all depends how far you look into things. It depends how you want to interperet it all, and how you want to take it in.

Have you never read all that hooplah on 9/11 hoe practically everything adds up to 911, 9, or 11?

[Canyarion]

Sure, but this prophecy was MEANT to be looked into. Anyway, I don't ask you to just believe what I say. Maybe I ask you to think about it. ;)

And I have thought about it. The other billions of times I've heard about it.

But like I said, it depends how far, and how deeply you look into things.

IE: The Bermuda Triangle.
