6 has been my constant companion. Why was 6 afraid of 7?

Because 7 8* 9

What’s really scary? Lizzy Borden didn’t listen oh no, no she didn’t. With her axe she gave her mother only 40 whacks! That’s right 40! We all know what happened. She had to be taught a lesson, so the universe made sure her father got 41.

Never underestimate the power of 41!

MWAHAHAHAHAHA

One word for this is apophenia:

Or the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

Of course, the Baader-Meinhof Gang, for which the phenomenon is named, announced they were disbanding on April 20, 1998.

4/20/98.

4 + 20 + 9 + 8. I’ll leave you to figure that one out. :dubious:

Whats the deal with the number 41? Does it have any special meaning? I have seen it everywhere. Well in most places anyway. I have seen it in movies such as The Matrix and The Frighteners. I have also seen it in a random number generator that my friend tried to make. Thats when it started. The only number that would appear was 41. After that it became an inside joke. Then i started seeing it in movies and other places. Is it just because i am paying more attention to the number?

OMG! 41 has been my favorite number throughout my life since it was assigned to me on my high school football team. I too see it everywhere - there is a clubfor people like us, but don’t tell anyone. We need to be covert until we’re ready to take over the world and make everyone count and do math in base 41.

I think this thing goes deeper than you even realize.

Notice post #41 in this thread.

Now some math on the available digits:
(2 * 6)=12
-8=4
*10=40
+1=41
weird
Hmmm: I didn’t notice there was a second page, I’m a little late to this party

If you believe that 41 appears more often than any other random number, why don’t you pick it for your lottery numbers? I personally think that many people’s lives are haunted by one number in particular. I happen see 237 everywhere I go. It was my old house number, my Cub Scout troop number, and the number of Chronos’s post count party, and I believe it was in the film Stand By Me. So in short, 41 is nothing special.

Don’t make out with an unknown beautiful young woman who’s just been in a full bathtub.

Just a head’s up.
