Subject: 2001 = 666?

Speaking as the author of the Web essay "2001 and Beyond the
Infinite," I'm certainly in favor of reading deeper meaning into
"2001: A Space Odyssey." But somehow I don't think this is what
Stanley Kubrick had in mind.

(Though it's actually true that Kubrick died 666 days before the year
2001.)

Reading numbers into things is a popular hobby among conspiracy
theorists. The truth is, you can find any pattern or number you're
looking for if you only look at things a certain way, and only interpret
things in certain ways.

That's significant in itself and points toward the whole basic
interconnectedness of everything and stuff.

Only if you look at it's significance in a certain way under a certain light
from a certain perspective while wearing special 'InterConnected Nests Of
EveryThing Spectacles' at a certain angle while reflected in a couple
mirrors turned a certain way in a specially connected relationship to each
other.

Yes, but the formulae which describe the series of relationships between and
amongst these events, and the processes employed in measuring each of them
either concurrently or sequentially, can themselves be reduced and expressed
in such a manner as to result in any whole number greater than 0,
irrespective of nesting probability eventiles.

Like the guy that told me Jimi Hendrix's 'Belly Button Window' was Written
Exactly 200 days before his death.
Oh, and the scary line in the song, "You only got 200 days." really raised
the fur on the back of my neck when he first pointed it out and told the
story above about it.

I've been looking, searching, poking and prodding for patterns in things and
stuph ever since, but can never seem to find any.

I mean, am I doing something wrong in my research for special connection
between numbers and patterns and moments and stuph??? Is there a trick to
reading meanings & stuph into these 'special' numbers I keep hearing
about???

I mean, for example, the following is just one of the twenty three billion
twenty three thousand twenty three different lines of Momentous Event
Special Connection With Numbers Research I'm with involved here...

Like every month there's a 23 occurring at least 1 + (24 *
number_of_days_in_this_month) in it and that's not counting the times where
it's month/23/year hour:23:23.23 which is too many numbers for me to keep
track of in this post, but I do watch for special things to occur there
also. And it's not going in military time either, but that'd only add a 23
where there is already a 23, unless hour 23:00 counts as a special moment.
But, that's usually when I'm getting laid, so that's not an opportune moment
to be researching anything beyond her yoni and connected special parts, so I
don't use military time in my research, though I do keep synched with the
Naval Atomic Clock so I don't get out of synch with the multiverse and
stuph...

Oh, and Nothing Special Ever Happens during those moments, except for me
being occupied with the idea that a special thing isn't happening right
then. In the 23 years I've been watching, logging, and generally keeping
track of all occurances of 23 throughout the year, one would think I'd get
lucky and at least some little something special would happen during at
least one of those so-called special #23 moments, but noooooooooooooo,
nothing, nada, zero, zed, zilch, naught and I'm geting sick and tired of
being told 23 is a special number all the time.

I'm giving it 23 more years and if nothing special ever happens during those
'Special #23' moments, I'll know one thing.

I'm always 23 seconds closer to 'Bob' than I was 23 seconds ago.

Do I have to wait until it's 2/3/2323 23:23.23 for a special moment?
And why do the end times have to happen before that date?

I've invested in a lot of steno pads in this research and knowing X-day is
sometime in 2017 is not conducive to my continuing my research on this and
other equeally importan subjects.

Like, where in the hell did I put my glasses this time.

Or how many Bobs can fit on the seat of my toilet.

I'm new to this SubGenius stuph and I'd sure like to petition whoever's
responsbile for all this foofoo X-day stuph and have them give us all a
reprieve. Such senseless death and destruction for what?

Oh, I keep forgetting.

Sorry man but 200 days is also the gestation period of the fetus that
is singing the song to his parents who are considering abortion.

I used to be full of Hendrix synchronicity stories that were all later
explained very prosaically. All dead rock stars' reps benefit greatly
from the Prophecy In Hindsight phenomenon.

Many rock stars now deliberately pepper their material with lines
that'll sound extra good if they die young. Hell, I've been guilty of
it myself in less happy times.

Almost every X-Day Drill I try to remember to steal the line, "And if I
don't seee you no more in this world, I'll meet you in the next one and
don't be late."

It's just good show-biz.

Well you ain't looking hard enough.

Try the number "273." "23" is too easy. Triple digit combos are much
more challenging, but more rewarding.

If you watch a lot of TV and movies you'll see a pattern in storylines
that eventually becomes plain as the checks on a checkerboard.

Speed, LSD, too much Ecstacy, Asperger's Syndrome and/or a macrobiotic
diet will bring these things out. You can develop a sort of poor-man's
Asperger's Syndrome by reading a too much metaphysics.

But it IS!

Well, that's strictly speculation based on 1984 arriving in 2003...
which is not exactly etched in stone. It was once finger-painted on
Jello however.

Or whether that drunken divorcee looking woman at the other end of the
bar would be worth the effort.

"BOB" IS GREAT.
