This occurred to me the night of Tisha b'Av.
Counting from Tishrei, Av is the eleventh month, unless it's a leapyear. Tisha b'Av is the ninth day of that month. Thus, Tisha b'Av is the equivalent of 9/11 on our calendar. It fits nicely, no? I am of the opinion that this may have been one of the factors taken into consideration when planning 9/11. My mother, on the other hand, refuses to give Osama and his cohorts that much credit. What do you say? Coincidence? I think not. Intentional? Hm... -------------------- על כל אחד ואחת להוסיף בתורה ובמצוות כדי להכריע את עצמו ואת כל העולם כולו לכף זכות!

You might have an unfulfilled need to write conspiracy theories.

Plus, it would have had to be Nov. 9th, not Sept. 11th.

Thanks, existwhere?. I needed that. Actually, the conspiracy theory only came after the realization. I was thinking, 'Oh, that's really cool. Hey, I wonder if the masterminds behind 9/11 thought of it.' No, it wasn't the other way around. Sorry.
You might have an unfulfilled need to read more into people's thoughts, though.

Your idea was interesting, I didn't mean it in a bad way. By the way, 9/11 actually happened on 8/11. (Sept. is month #8.) And yes I do love to speculate on other's thoughts and coax it out of them. -------------------- "If they would allow one dead soul to visit an assembly of philosophers, that would be the end of all their teachings."
