Moose posted : Anyone else got an interesting 47-related anecdote to share?
Your post count for the original post was "1689".
(1+6)*8-9) = 47
Spooky !Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Also 1689 (post count) - 47 = 1642
1642 = English Civil War started.
This is getting spookier and spookier :-)Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

OMG!
When I got to work this morning, I had 52 unread emails in my inbox. When I had deleted 5 of them, I had 47 left. And then I deleted most of them as well.
Some interesting responses. Definitely something strange going on here!Comment

Now I am getting totally freaked out.
In the street that I grew up in one of the houses was number 47
We lived in number 4 so weren't that near it but even so it is very spooky!Comment
