Reminds me of the movie "Pi."
"Max... You will find that thing everywhere... As soon as you discard scientific rigor, you're no longer a mathematician, you're a numerologist."

- mjn 13y agoMy favorite recent example of that: http://www.2014equals420.com/about.html http://www.2014equals420.com/about.html It starts with the curious observation that 2014, spoken aloud as "twenty fourteen", becomes "teen 420" in reverse. Perhaps just a coincidence. But then it further notes that April 20, or 4/20, is the date of Easter in 2014. Two coincidences! Now the numerologist starts getting suspicious...
- wtetzner 13y agoI don't get it. What does "Teen 420" mean? How can it be equal to 2014 if it's the reverse of saying 2014?
