Condolences to all Chinese Citizens of the Sichuan Earth quake.
Just a curious note that was passed to me by some friend:
China diasater started with the worst snowstorm on Jan 25, then the unstable event of Tibet on Feb 15 and now the Sichuan earth quake on May 12…….if you add all the numbers up Jan=1 + 2 +5 =08……Feb=2 +1+5=08…..May=5+1+2=08……….thus 08,08,08 comes up to the opening date of the big event of China Olympic.
Also there was an astronomer (presume) by the name of Li Da had written a prediction consisted of 4 phrases which told of something which i don’t really understand but the main thing that caught my attention are the 1st & last chinese characters of those phrases. It read “Bei, Jing, Owl, Yuin” & “Si, Chuan, Tee, Zhen” translated Beijing Olympics, SiChuan Earthquake…………….and this was written centuries ago……if someone have any ideas of this astronomer website please post here, thanks. Just sharing what i received, might not be true but no harm trying to find out………………cheers
Lhasa incident is 3/14/2008
I do not believe this adding numbers together. It’s just superstitious. Chinese calendar shows what to do and not do everyday, examples
“Today is good for weddings, buy new house,
bad for funerals, sell house”
“Today is good for rabbit-sign people, bad for dragon-sign people do not go out.”
If I were to follow that everyday, I would alway worry about something.
all that bullshit! what is the matter with you guys.it’s 21st century ,you guys are still believing these adding number things.can’t you just be a little sensible? a whole nation is suffering from kinds of disasters, people are dying, but you are discussing about these senseless adding number things. it’s just coincidences.some people are trying to camp it up.we need not to be deceived like fools.
I agree with Joe, it’s sick trying to forcast something with numbers while thousands have died tragically.
We all made mistakes and that is why we are only human. No matter what we find out it cannot bring back those lost lives. I think the most important thing now is that we have to prevent the same mistake from happening again. We cannot undermind the work of environmental research that can provide vital information for prediction and escape from disastor. There must be something we can do to deliver a clear message to change our planet to be a better world.
By the way, does anyone know what happen to the ancient Chinese device of ‘9 dragons’ ? (I cannot remember if it is 8 dragons or 9 dragons) The device is supposed to predict and give direction to the earth quake location and it was working perfectly in the ancient days.
