Everyday I see something that goes viral on the internet, mostly FB. This is today's latest from Drew's cousins wife, who happens to be responsible for educating our youth in a public school.
It went like this:
33 miners were rescued on the 33rd week of the year; it took 33 days to drill down to them; they were brought up to the surface on 10/13/10 which = 33. They say Jesus, who was crucified at the age 33, was with them the entire time. Pretty Cool! Facebook friends, if you believe in ...Jesus Christ and His almighty power repost this.
Let's break this down.
The 33rd week of 2010 was August 15-21st. Even if you didn't know this off the top of your head, a Math teacher should know that there are 4 weeks in a month, taking 8 months (August) to reach 32 weeks that year. So it would be impossible to only take another week from the first week of August to October 12th.
The days it took to drill. Not 33. I think it was more in the 40s but they can't be bothered with facts, come on now they must make it about their beliefs, not fact.
10/13/10. I have 2 problems with arriving at this number. One would be the correct way would be to keep the pattern right. 1+0+1+3+2+0+1+0. Now we have 8. Even if we kept it to their numbers. It would be 1+0+1+3+1+0 which is still not 33. It's 6.
Also the dates they were rescued were 2 dates. October 12th after midnight to the 13th. It would have to be Chile time as well.
I guess you could argue or not on the rest, I don't take the Bible as a fact.
Just another way I keep my mind oiled and myself amused. Watching out for idiots on FB.
You are welcome.
PS What is funnier, or sad, you decide, is not ONE of her friends that "liked" it even stopped to think of this. It hit me as soon as I saw the first sentence. Then I toyed with the rest and voila!
