john lennon was supposedly obsessed with the number
nine. he was born on
october ninth, and
the beatles were "discovered" by
brian epstein on november ninth, 1961. The
bus he used to travel on to
liverpool art college was number 72 (2+7=9), the same number as his apartment with
yoko in the
dakota building (which was located on
west 72nd street in
new york). the
police car that ran over his
mother had the registration number LKF 630 (6+3+0=9), and the man
behind the wheel was police constable 126 (1+2+6=9). she was
pronounced dead at sefton general hospital, 126 smithdown road.
julian lennon was also born here.
because of all these freaky coincidences,
john lennon believed the number nine ruled powerfully over his life. some say he even
orchestrated it so that his second son,
sean lennon, was born on the same day, october ninth, making him slightly
premature. these same people also say that john specifically chose apartment 72 for the same
superstitious reasons.
fittingly enough, john was killed on
december eighth in new york, the
time difference making it december ninth in britain. he was pronounced
dead at 11:07 pm (1+1+0+7=9).
the above facts were gleaned from various sources, most prominently http://members.tripod.com/louiselennon/celebrity/lennon.html, so no slaying if i am wrong
