30 + 2 +1 = 33

[Anders Lindman]

"Police said Cho Seung-hui, a student originally from South Korea, killed 30 people, before committing suicide.

He is also believed to have killed two students earlier in the day."

Discordians will find not only the number of people he killed 32 (23 reversed) but also his age (23) also to be of significance.

According to them...

The 23 Enigma is the Discordian belief that all events are connected to the number 23, given enough ingenuity on the part of the interpreter. It can be seen in Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea's Illuminatus! trilogy (there called the "23/17 phenomenon"), Wilson's Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminati (there called "The Law of 23s" and "The 23 Enigma"), Arthur Koestler's Challenge of Chance, as well as the Principia Discordia. In these works, 23 is considered either lucky, unlucky, sacred to the goddess Eris, sinister, sacred to the unholy gods of the Cthulhu Mythos, or strange. Discordians regard this as a corollary of the Law of Fives.

From above...

...Sacred to the Goddess Eris

And when you dig a little deeper you find this below...

Chief architect of Virginia Tech's first campus-wide information system (ERIS) that provided email, news, course catalog, personal file storage, and calendar services to all faculty, staff, and students. Originally designed in 1992, portions of the system were still in active use (email server, Web services) in 1999.

It all here my friends. Do a search for The Eris Project (Virginia Polytechnic University) to find out more...

Someone also mentioned that the stepping from 32 to 33 was significant symbolism. Cho Seung-hui stepped from 32 persons killed to 33 when he killed himself.

ERIS GODDESS OF THE STRIFE OF WAR

Eris was a goddess of the battlefield with an insatiable desire for bloodshed. Even after all the other gods had withdrawn from battle, she remained, rejoicing over the slaughter.

Eris (Greek Έρις, "Strife") is the Greek goddess of strife and Discordian goddess of chaos, her name being translated into Latin as Discordia. Her Greek opposite is Harmonia, whose Latin counterpart is Concordia. Homer equated her with the war-goddess Enyo. Eris, the solar system's largest known dwarf planet, is named after the goddess.

And there [depicted on the shield of Akhilleus] were man-devouring wars, and all horrors of fight ... Phobos (Panic) was there, and Deimos (Dread), and ghastly Enyo with limbs all gore-bespattered hideously, and deadly Eris (Strife).

- Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 5.25

Oh yes, 33. I remember something along these lines when David spoke about symbolism. But what did this 33 number symbolise again? And which other events of incidents have also had a relation to the 33? Someone please recap for me. =)

Just glimpsed through the rubbish red tops and was reading about the 'incident' and guess what was on the door of the room that he stayed in.. The number 2121 (2+1 + 2+1 (33) which was below a fish (Nimrod?) that had written on it from top to bottom 'Joseph (guardian of Christ, symbolic reptilian God) & Seung-ho'..

Also, going from left to right (which is important in 'their' rituals I'm led to believe) he lives in the 3rd room..

They've no doubt left their mark, again..
