If I were Jim Carrey, I would have been a bit miffed about the scene when Virginia Madsen gets out of bed in the middle (74) of the night and appears to be wearing a bra (23) under her nightshirt. I mean, who wears a bra to bed? ---

That’s a good way to get banned. Also, God doesn’t exist. 😃 ---

> [@Latro](#): > > Besides, the word is hurricane, not hurri. So it isn’t 74. > Plus you can’t just ignore the ‘o’ in God. It’s there for a reason. What’s hilarious to me about numerologists is that they’re applying a “magical system” invented with Hebrew, or possibly Aramaic, in mind to their own language and think it means something deep. It’s like adding ethnocentrism to hogwash for extra bullshit. Hey Brad, Is GOD still worth 74 points when it’s spelled “dieu”, “dios”, “deus”, “Gott”, “Бог” or “elohim” ? ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > So what are those special attributes a storm has at 74 mph that it doesn’t have at 73 mph? Remember you’ve already got a meteorologist on the board disagreeing with you about that. Marley 23, Wrong question. It should be, **“So what are those special attributes a storm has at 74 mph that it doesn’t have at 75 mph?”** None, except the Masonic(7,74) Code(4) of GOD=7\_4 is invoked with 74 mph. Hasn’t that been made obvious in the op and my other posts(74=P16+O+S19+T20+S19)? :smack: Synchronism: 8/28/12 11:47 “47 lbs. of Moon rocks were brought back to Earth on _Apollo 11_” - _Moonshot_ on History Channel ---

> [@Brad\_Watson\_Miami](#): > > Wrong question. Wrong font. Minor issue though this is, I told you about it plenty of times and you didn’t listen. In any case there are plenty of cites where you could find a receptive audience for this stuff, but this is not one of them. Since the OP is banned, I’m closing this thread.
