...Escape Rocket 747 landed in the strange, foreign... uhm, land. As he crossed into the borders, he no longer could call himself Citizen. He was Holder of Foreign Passport. Alien Resident. No longer ordinary. Un-ordinary. Extra, super ordinary. He would live unnoticed among others, yet possess ego and English-language abilities far superior to those of the natives. Not since the Pilgrims or Australia had an outcast the chance to so utterly dominate. Yes. His time has come. Subscribe

OMFG! 7+7+7=21; Sept.=7; 7+2=9; 21=Two 1s ∴ 777=9/11!!

Super-Xpat cringed this morning at the news of the crashastopic stock market drop. The severe anal raping lowly expat's not-quite-so-super-anymore-portfolio suffered aside, what really brought on the dread was the size of the drop: 777. Or more precisely 777.68 (by some accounts).

Just what we need. Super-Xpat knows the media, and so was unfortunately faced with the prospect of reading hundreds, if not thousands, of sub-par, shoddily scratched-out "news reports" with suck such wonderfully-catchy headlines like "The Market's Unlucky #777" or "Shocker! 777 Not Lucky Number" or... wait for it... "Triple 7's No Jackpot For Dow".

Fortunately, as of today the major publications have had enough tact to tiptoe around this obligato theme.

Unfortunately, Super-Xpat is also the guy that stops by car wrecks just to watch.

A quick google search found up some interesting and funny-if-not-terrifying blog posts, messages, comments etc... on this news. Take a look at what happens when Super-Xpat google searched "777 stock market jesus"

How about "Jesus Hates America".

Free speech is totally awesome.
