Since the whole thing is gibberish, it would make no difference if none of us had ever heard of it. Meanwhile, you still have not explained what happens when a storm has sustained winds of 74 mph or more. The actual demarcations between tropical depressions and storms and the various type of hurricanes are arbitrary. They’re all storms and it’s all wind. We just made up classifications based on the sustained wind speeds to make it easier to communicate the severity of different types of weather. The storm becomes a hurricane at 74 mph because that’s how we define a hurricane: a storm with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. There’s no code to it. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Somehow, some way, this must be about college footbol. Well, you picked an appropriate screen name. Even though you were trying to make a joke, the **GOD=7\_4 Code** does show up in footbol. 7 points for a touchdown and 4 less for a field goal and 4 quarters. 14-7, 17-14, etc. are common scores. The defense is often positioned with 4 down lineman and 7 in the backfield. The movie _The Blindside_ is about #74: a left tackle. Since GOD=7\_4, Jesus=74, & Muhammad=74, ya, **you want #74 to guard your blindside**! The next game(4 letters starting with the 7th letter) you watch, see if one or both teams has a player #74 and usually it’s the left tackle, unless the quarterback is left-handed and then his blind side would be the right tackle. You’re aware that basebol, basketbol, and hockey all play 7-game championship series with the winner winning 4, right? Probably just a ‘coincidence’, huh? I’ve started writing a book entitled _Free(4)masonry(7) Encoded Golf at St. Andrews_. I’ll let you know when it’s finished(74=F6+I9+N14+I9+S19+H8+E5+D4). :dubious: ---

Okay, let’s see, there are 9 letters in the word hurricane. 9 letters X 74MPH = 666, the sign of the Devil! God has beset Satan upon the world in the form of a storm. Note the ‘eye’ of the hurricane and the representation of Satan’s Eye on the Dollar Bill. These is no doubt that hurricanes are Satan, and the Dollar Bill is root of all evil. ---

Now if you are making the point(74) that I AM spreading this information around the Internet to be exposed to many - like YOU - that had never heard of it before, ya, I AM guilty. Would you have preferred to have never heard of the **GOD=7\_4 Code** , etc.? Are you wanting to promote “Ignorance is bliss”? :smack: No. But there is no God; I don’t care about what God wants even if he existed; as said, posting the same thing word for word on multiple forums is called spamming; and most importantly of all since I’m using even weirder formatting than you I’m obviously much more profound and enlightened. ---

The 74th reply is a review… Tropical storms become hurricanes when they reach **74** mph sustained winds. Why 74? **GOD=7\_4** , whereas, G is the 7th letter, a circle can be 15 or zerO and D=4. **7/4=_July 4th_ or 7 April 30 AD: _Good_(7\_\_4) _Friday_** when J10+E5+S19+U21+S19=74 the king(74) of the Judeans(74) - the Jewish(74) Messiah(74) - was on the C3+R18+O15+S19+S19=74. Assigning a number(74) to a letter is called Simple(6,74) English(7,74) Gematria(8,74) where words with similar sums have a connect(74) between(74) them. Y’shua(74)/Joshua(74)/IESVS(74) was born on 17/4/748 AUC (April 17, 6 BC). Earth has 7 continents and 4 corners/4 seasons. (‘7 seas’ and) 4 oceans, 74% of the planet’s surface is water. With the naked eye, the ancients could see 7 moving objects(74) in the heavens(74) and 4 don’t cast shadows(74) on Earth. The lunar months(74) are 4 phases of 7 days (7.4 days). Lunar year + 7 day week + 4 days = solar year. Venus is .7 AU & Mercury .4 AU from the Sun. Besides Earth, this solar system has 7 planets & 4 trans-Neptunian dwarf planets. Saturn’s ‘4 seasons’ are each 7.4 years long. Human pregnancies are 40 weeks (7x40), etc. ~74% of the elemental mass of this universe is _hydrogen_. ~74% of everything in this universe is dark _energy_(74). * * * [SIZE=“4”]Nobody here believes that it’s just ‘coincidence’ that T.S. Isaac(33) cancelled the 1st day of the RepubliCON CONvention, do they? And that Hurri.(74) Isaac striking New Orleans exactly on the 7-year Anniversary of Hurri.(74) Katrina(74) is a ‘coincidence’? **K11+A1+T20+R18+I9+N14+A1=74** GOD/nature created Hurri. Isaac to continue the curses He/She has put on Americans - primarily RepubliCONs - because of their sins, i.e. greed, excess luxury, prejudice, violence/gun proliferation, and following profits instead of prophets. The ‘Red States’/GOP is guilty of promoting Ronald(6 letters) Wilson(6) Reagan(6): _“the 1st Beast who was ruler(74) of the world, lied to all nations, and was wounded yet lived”_. George Walker Bush Jr.: \*“the 2nd Beast who imitated the 1st Beast and brought down fire from the heavens(74) with the destruction of Babylon \*(War In Iraq).” United(6) States(6) Dollar(6) is the \*“mark of the Beast that everyone must have to buy and sell with” - The Revelation Chapter 13 \*(The back of the US $1 Dollar Bill has the #13 encoded 13x.) Hurri. Isaac cancelling the 1st day of the RepubliCON’s CONvention is no ‘coincidence’. The title of the 74-page _“book/scroll”_ prophesied in _The Revelation 5:1-10:10_ is entitled **There Are No Coincidences - there is synchronism**. On its cover are the _“7 seals”_/‘beyond Einstein theories’ (google that). Everyone must choose GOD or GOP “The Christian Right is Neither!” Jesus was the BIGGEST liberal in history! Now we see that GOD the _Grand Architect of this Universe_ is real and why a T.S. becomes a hurri.(74) at 74 mph.[/SIZE] ---

The “sum” of the word number is 73. In Spanish it’s numeros, which adds up to 105- not even close to 74.
