        Coincidence?  You name it.
        \_ oh my god! wowowowow!  I wonder how many millions of random
           numbers did *not* have 911 in them today?!  Conspiracy?
           \_ Do you understand how the New York State "Numbers" Lottery work?
              Three independent digits from 0-9 are drawn in order.  So the
              probablility of getting 9-1-1 is only 0.001.  Since there are two
              drawings every day, the odds of getting 9-1-1 on Sep. 11 is
              0.001999, or slightly less than 1 in 500.
                \_ yeah i know it's not that statisically improbably,
                   but it's still really spooky
                \_ how many other states have similar drawings?
                   \_ At least CA doesn't.  Besides, how many other states
                      were attacked on 9/11?
                      \_ Two.
                         \_ Exactly.
                \_ wowowoowow that's soooo amazing!  wowowowowowoow!  There
                   *must* be black helos and tin foil hats in there somewhere!
                   woowowowowowowowo!!!!  I can't get over it!
