Yes, I know, that is what I said.
I was asking if there was any actual fighting in Scandinavia or did the Germans just pull out.

Will it show that Merkans were the true heroes, Billy Bob Buttboy was the pivotal reason they won and that Merka joined the war in 1394 and not 1943?
Or is Hollywood not involved in anyway?

As far as I know Hollywood is not involved and, for Dutch standards, it will be a big budget production. Of course there were Americans involved, but the main forces were Canadian, Polish and English. And the Aussies you ask ? they were nowhere to be seen of course, probably too busy drinking beer

A ghost and me from the past came to visit.
The ghost said "If you don't change your ways this will be you in the future."
"Oh my god!", I said, "that's friggin' awesome!"
They then returned to the present.

So I moved a digital clock out of the way of an impending visit by a 3yr old. As it happened, it was put next to a mirror, perpindicularly, so I had a reflection of it that appeared like an adjacent clock of the same type (mirrors tend to do that).
Then, I saw it !
1001 1001
THat's 99 decimal, whose digits add up to 18 and then whose digits add up to 9, again - but only one 9 !
It must be an omen! Surely! An Omen !

I happen to be listening to Rush and just up the list is 'The Body Electric' from Grace Under Pressure. The chorus for that song is '1001001 SOS'. The first part is binary for 73 which then converts to ASCII as the letter 'I'. Apparently it's about a droid reaching self-awareness.

I, in fact, did apply to it deeper thoughts in the hopes of ascertaining further enlightenment.
Let us, for example, respect the colons

Coincidence? I think not!

Nope. That's Coke.

Only if you treat it as two separate digits. If you treat it as a single number, then it's 153dec, whose digits add up to ... 9.
Well, I guess that's one of your lottery numbers picked then.

If this were the SoapBox, I'd bring up the very likely possibility that this is a conspiracy of some sort set up with the introduction of digital clocks (and that include those that worked by flipping metallic leaves).
But it's not the SoapBox so I won't mention it.

It is also palindromic. Sort of. As far as numbers can be anyway.
