I hope you guys aren't justifying the deaths of those ppl. |
Of course not, I value each person that died in New York on September 11th as much as every other that died on that and every other day.
I'm just trying to add some relevant background data. Maybe 3000 additional deaths on one particular day in New York affects random number generators in a way that tens or hundreds of thousands of daily deaths don't.
Captain Fred raises an interested point though - (*mild sarcasm to follow*)perhaps those hundreds of thousands of daily deaths don't twitch the random number generators because they aren't photogenic enough and so don't provoke much of a public reaction.
Forgive me if I remain sceptical. |

Actually, there is NO John Hartwell working at the University of Utrecht, and the only places on the internet where this link is made is in articles about this predictions by random numbers. It's actually also translated into Dutch and I've found one dutch forum with a lot of discussions about this same article - I think I should also let them know that Dr. John Hartwell does not exist... on the other hand, they're having so much fun
Just look on Google for "John Hartwell" Utrecht University or "John Hartwell" Utrecht Universiteit _________________ http://www.krijthe.net/backgrounds.html
