Prediction or mere coincidence?

So a few months ago I made a prognostication to my friend Mike. I had predicted that 7/08/06 and 8/07/06 would be days there would be terrorist strikes. My logic was quite simple: 786 is the Holy number of Islam (more specifically, 786 is often used as a representation of the first lines of the Koran, and therefore has gained "holy" value). July 8th, and August 7th of this year both can be written as 786 depending on if you are in America or elsewhere.

I than started to seriously look into my prediction, as if there was real value to it. I than realized that every attack that had occurred (at the time this meant 9/11, 12/13, 3/11, 7/7) happened either on a Tuesday or a Thursday. I must add that the two Bali attacks both happened on a Saturday instead.

The attacks in America and India were on a Tuesday, while the European attacks were Thursdays. Coincidences perhaps.

July 7th, 2006 was a Friday, so I actually rescinded my expectation, since I did not expect it to happen on the Muslim world's sabbath.

So there was an attack 3 days after 7/08/06 on July 11th. This coincides with the running theme of 9/11 and 3/11. It also was a Tuesday! As I mentioned earlier, it appeared to me the attacks in India would line up as Tuesdays.

So than I started focusing on 8/07/06 (which would be written 7/08/06 everywhere else). It was a Monday, so I either expected an attack in the US or India on 8/08/06, or in Europe on 8/10/06 (or on 8/12/06 one in Bali). Lo and behold, we have reports out of London of a massive terrorist plan today....on 8/10/06 a Thursday.

Perhaps these are just coincidences, truth is I myself have trouble believing that I have "caught onto some master mathematical design". Still, if I am correct, than the pattern should continue. Next time there is an attack in Europe, let us see if it happens on a Thursday. If it happens in the US or India, let's see if its on a Tuesday. If it happens in East Asia, let's see if it's on a Saturday.

Maybe there is nothing to it...but it's food for thought. :p
