Peculiar pint glass predicts death

[Jason1]

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?

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.

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.
