...and I always wonder how much of "the occult connection" is pure coincidence. I mean, each number, especially the first few, have special symbolic meaning, and each and every event can be described in highly symbolic language. I mean, there is only seven days of the week for example, and occurrence of an event has to happen on one of them. Awww, it happened on the seventh day of the week, it is not coincidence, because... here follows lengthy explanation of why it is significant, but there could be equally lengthy explanation if it happened on any other day.
So, to the point, if Christine Lagarde is talking magic numbers, is it because she is a trained occultist, or because she happened to read some cheesy horoscope on her way to "work"? Is someone actually planning for X to happen exactly on Y date? Somehow I can't imagine the bankers, evil and intelligent as they might be, reading Necronomicon on their lunch breaks. just a thought...
