x'xx.666

[Fangio]

Yesterday I looked in the statistics and I had won 666 of 1111 races. (and no, I didn't do it on purpose).

Good Prince Of Darkness!
I believe an exorcism may be in order here!

how's this one a year ago on the 6 day of the 6 mouth in the year two thousand and 6 , I had 666 666C or what ever the money is in GT4 , the last three numbers in my A spec points is 666 , the first car I drove had 666hp and I did a time of *'**'666 on the ring . It's all true I don't know how it happened but it did, it's one of the lol things that happen to people and send them mad .

..Those are three separate instances you mean, right? You had 666,666 Cr. on 6/6/2006, right now your A-spec points end in 666, and at the beginning of your Gt5 file you had a 666 hp car with a x'xx.666 soon after, right?

Because of all those things happened on the same day....

Actually, it's Japanese, and it's not the pronunciation, but the written form which resembles the word for death.

You were pretty close, though.

Actually, it's Mandarin Chinese. I don't know about Japanese, but not knowing pinyin, I'll try to explain it to you:

In Mandarin, "Si" is four, and "Si" is death... well, I can't really explain it without an audio file... but I speak Chinese.

I suppose the written word might resemble it, though, if you were high:

Four, Mandarin Chinese:

This phrase means death, but the one on the left is the character we are looking for:

Also, reference your beloved Wikipedia:

Four (?, formal writing: ?, pinyin s&#236 is considered an unlucky number in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cultures because it sounds like the word "death" (? pinyin s?). Due to that, many numbered product lines skip the "four": e.g. Nokia cell phones (there is no series beginning with a 4), Palm PDAs, the Leisure Suit Larry games, etc. Some buildings skip floor 4 or replace the number with the letter "F", particularly in heavily Asian areas. See tetraphobia and Numbers in Chinese culture.

Four in Chinese cultures is like 13 in America.

Just wanted to clear that up.


[n00b celebration]OH OWNT I AM T3H ULTRA 1337 NOW I DESERVE +REP!!!11!1!1[/n00b celebration] I realize that if anyone would +rep me, that right there probably just made them reconsider. All good and well. I want my rep to STAY negative, thank you very much.

I always enjoy watching Chinese students when they call the univeristy's Student Centre as the number they have to dial is 4-4-4-4.

I am a terrible, terrible man.

No it happen on the one day the 6/6/06 the funny thing is that you would think that I'd burst into flaming fire ball or something , but that day was so boring (probably why I remember the hole thing) in a year where I finished school, dislocated my shoulder, dad bought a new car and I got my learners licence, nothing happens on the day I have the devil in my PS2.

Maybe GT4 is the devils work. lol I hope.

Ha! Haha! Remind me to stay away from that university.

I must have got literally thousands of time results in various GT games, and got .666 only a few times.

And six hundred threescore and six just sounds so much better.

GT4 is the DEATH of GT!!!

That settles it, between the 666 thing and this, satan is at PD.

 

[Orion]

Ohh My God.

I have it worse than all you guys. **

 

[Ocean]

Now is this after you have known this thread to exist?

 

[Orion]

WHY?!?!

WHY?!?!

When your mind becomes obsessed with anything, you will filter everything else out and find that thing everywhere.

 

[Ocean]

This is all from today!

then did you know this thread existed before today? Or did that happen to you, then you realized this thread exists.

If you knew about the thread beforehand, did this thread captivate you in any way?

 

[Orion]

No it didn't captivate me, I swear this is all from today, why you think I kept editing that post? Because more of these occurances kept happening.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Ha! Haha! Remind me to stay away from that university.

I don't think you have anything to worry about, since I'm in Australia.

 

[Orion]

WHY OHH WHY?!!?!?
