Has farce blended with tragedy? Only weeks after Sen. Joe Biden made his goofy “7-Eleven” remark, offending some Indian Americans, “7-11” means something much more offensive.
On June 17, Biden said, “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.” The comment was taken by some as a bigoted complaint by Biden, but in context the statement appears to mean he was impressed by the number of Indian Americans in his state of Delaware.
Today, 7-11, will be remembered for the deadly eight-bomb attack on commuter trains in Mumbai, India. The date will go down with America’s 9-11, Spain’s 3-11 and Britain’s 7-7.
They’re only dates. But people remember.

Numerology? . . .
Now that's just as bad as the 'conspiracy' theorists who claimed there to exist some sort of absurdly ambiguous significance of numbers in the wake of 9/11.
For arguments' sake, taking into consideration that this 'numerology' is relevant . . .
Any student of the occult (whence numerology stems) would be easily aware that --
IF (big if) these radical 'Islamists' were to become embroiled in such pithy mathematical symbolism, then it would be ever so viable that an Eastern method would, indeed, be taken advantage of.
As it stands, howbeit, the Pythagorean 'method' of numerology is far too much of an utterly westernized form of the whilom said esoteric to be used by 'people' who wholly SHUN a varied range of western ideals.
Perhaps, it stems from another . .
But then, perhaps not.
