Whats the deal with the number 41?

And we all know that what this proves is that G_d has 13 fingers.

Bill Clinton is the 42nd President…there’s a list of them on a page on the 'net, it’s called Deep Thought’s something or other.

In the book War and Peace, Pierre finds that with the Hebrew number/letter system le’empereur Napoleon (or however it was spelled in there, it’s been a couple years since I read it) added up to 666. So did his own name, I think.

Anyone who has read this recently or has a copy on hand to help me with the spelling and such?

I didn’t know about any of the numbers brought up here, but I had heard about http://www.lbstone.com/27/

Oh, good. It’s just me.

Nah, don’t worry. I checked too.

Technically, he’s only the 41st–Grover Cleveland was both # 22 and # 24, so only 41 men have served as president.

I guess Clinton is serving the 42nd period in office … or something.

I could tell you the significance of 41… but then you’d know my secret, wouldn’t you?

37 holds a special place in my heart…

R.A.W. freaked me out too, his three numbers that keep poping up all over for me are 5, 17, and 23, and all are kinda the same. 2+3= 5 7-1=6(2x3 or 3=3(two 3’s)).
All of the classes I had in highschool had numbers that either added up to 5, 17, or 23.
Pointless I know, but strange none the less.
I am guessing that its just a subliminal thing that I notice when I see it, but not notice other things that point out the fallacy.

Hi Douglas, I logged into google to find out the same thing. For the last 6 months, I see that number everywhere. If I’m doing an excel worksheet, I have a mistake on line 41, I get caught at a light and the car in front of me has a tag with 41 on it, I go by the hwy eveyday and I’m drawn to exit 41 without even noticing 40 or 39 which I passed minutes ago… my car has a digital clock and everytime I look at the time it’s something, X:41, it’s kind of creepy and i have been searching everywhere for a meaning… wanna hear more? recently my daughter wanted me to buy her a lizard, which I found to be odd cause she’s a girly girl and she kept asking me for a lizard, so I got her the lizard to later find this out… I’m hispanic and in Cuba they have something called “La Charada”, basically what Cubans have done is given every number an association to something, for example #29 means mice, number 7 means something smelly, number 8 means death etc… Lizard is number 41.!!!.. I am a christian and at times I have prayed and asked God to reveal to me what this number means because I almost feel as if HE is trying to tell me something… I’m not trying to drag religion into this, it’s just that it’s really become annoying to see number 41 so many times in 1 day… I’m talking about at least 5 times per day without exaggeration.

I few months ago a mentally disordered woman posted here claiming that she is the unknown illegitimate daughter of JFK. She based her entire thesis on numerical coincidences. It was explained to her that that is all these are—coincidences. The same thing happens with words. I was once racking my brain trying to remember the name of a guy I once worked with. It was agonizing; I was at it all morning and just couldn’t remember the guy’s name. An hour later I was at Costco and I saw it on the side of a truck: Ballard’s Painting Co. The guy’s name was Ballard. Then I saw it two more times that day, and once again the following day. Another time I walked into Walmart with an obscure Todd Rundgren song running through my head. The same song was playing over the PA system. These things happen.

Which is finer: a 12-year-old scotch, or a 12-year-old zombie?

z - 26
o - 15
m - 13
b - 2
i - 9
e - 5
26 + 15 = 41 :eek:
13+2+9+5 = 34
34+ 5+0 (your post number) + 03 (the number you appended to your username) - 1 (your first post count!) = … 41!!!

Well duh, the scotch of course. I’ll take the islay single malt please. Neat. Cheers!

I actually have a glass of Hedonismon my desk right now. It’s a blend that will change your mind about blends. The blender has a good line as well, some better than others.

Wait … I have a Springbank 18, a Oban 14 and 2 bottles of Jack Daniels (Old No. 7) …

18+14+2+7 … 41!

I’ve got another one that will really blow your mind. I once took down a set of vertical blinds that my wife and I didn’t like, got lazy, and tossed them in the driveway. They stayed there for three years. Every time I looked at them I said “oh screw it—I’ll throw them away later.” Then one day I finally decided to shitcan them. I was carrying them to the dumpster when somebody called to me from the window of a neighboring house “hey—you throwing those away?” He was putting up an old set of vertical blinds for his mom that had been sitting in the closet since time immemorial. He set he had was missing several of the vertical slats. It was exactly the same manufacturer, exactly the same model, and exactly the same fucking color as the set I was throwing away. :eek:

That, of course, was due to the same reason that Arthur Dent was able to formulate the question by pulling Scrabble tiles out of a bag.

Number of heads on Cerberus = 3
This post’s # = 57
573 = 171
Number of days in a leap year = 366
366-171 = 195
How many days in Hanukkah = 8
8
195 = 1560
Year of the Consulship of Verus and Augur = 121
1560+121=1681

Sqrt(1681)=41

ZOMG!

:eek: do you realize that at the time of posting, you had 2,714 posts?!

If you read that backwards, it’s 41 (7,2). Mapping 7,2 in Cartesian space overlaid on my monitor points to … post **MinkMan’s ** post----and what number post was he?!

There is a “41” in my ATM card PIN. How did you know that??
