Both Tommie and 47 started a thread on the exact same topic within minutes of each other and both said they exact same words in the op ("I say yes"). Is this odd to anyone else? Are they on the same trolling email list and were just following instructions, or what. How else could we explain how two independent individuals started a thread on the same topic and used the exact same words in the first post of the thread. Odd

The reason we write out numbers on checks, deeds of trust, etc. is exactly because of distrust of Arabic numbers. Learned that from a SMU accounting prof.

There is zero question they are in receipt of the same instructions. Tommie has often come very close to mimicking the race troll on this board. 47 picked up much of the slack fo the race troll whenever people stopped responded to the race troll for a few weeks. There's a very good chance they are either the same person or getting instructions from the same person/group.

The Hindu who created the numerals that the Arabs culturally appropriated sure was smart.

It's genius: the number of angles equals the number represented.

The intellect of Tommie does NOT reside in Waco the idiot

Therefore I assume both get instructions from same source

Sucks frankly that Tommie and Waco related in any way

But Soros and DNC has deep pockets

Arabic numerals? More like Indian/Hindi numerals.

The arabs stole them from India.

Just like they stole slaves from Africa and Slavic Europe.

Mosque architecture from Orthodox Christian church architecture

Ach architecture from Persia.

Coffee from India

Artistic script writing from Mesopotamia.

Ship building from Egpyt.

Steel making from Rome.

Honest to God...........have the arabs ever created anything?

The just conquered everyone around them then said "muh i make this"

Apologized for what? You both said the exact same thing about a completely random topic. It would be one thing if you both said something similar that is relevant to today's new cycle, but you two said identical things about an oddball topic seemingly out of the blue. Who is pulling the strings?

In the 1400s a Spanish scholar discovered ancient Arabic texts that saved Greek and Latin philosophy and science and Arabic astronomy and mathematics. He learned Arabic and translated the texts which became the texts for the Enlightenment and set us free from the dark ages.

Contrario stay on it, great catch on Tommie and Waco simul thread's on odd similar topic

Read above diversion from Waco. It's coherence is above his typical level of intelligence

I think you're right

Waco is short circuiting and Tommie can't be found all the sudden

There were several satirical articles, tweets and blogs that came out with this joke. Tommie, a Baylor alumn and football star, doesnt take orders from anyone. This is almost as bad as the post the other day saying that "Happy
Holidays" is an attack on Christianity.

No, you need to explain yourself, not apologize.
You too, tommie.
Because right now, you two appear to be frauds*.

False

[The Snz Sunjng, of unknown date but estimated to be dated from the 1st to 5th centuries AD, and Japanese records dated from the 18th century, describe how the c. 4th century BC Chinese counting rods system enables one to perform decimal calculations. According to A History of Mathematics, the rods "gave the decimal representation of a number, with an empty space denoting zero." The counting rod system is considered a positional notation system.]

India
Pingala (c. 3rd/2nd century BC), a Sanskrit prosody scholar, used binary numbers in the form of short and long syllables (the latter equal in length to two short syllables), a notation similar to Morse code. Pingala used the Sanskrit word nay explicitly to refer to zero.
It was considered that the earliest text to use a decimal place-value system, including a zero, is the Lokavibhga, a Jain text on cosmology surviving in a medieval Sanskrit translation of the Prakrit original, which is internally dated to AD 458 (Saka era380). In this text, nya ("void, empty") is also used to refer to zero.]



Zero concept was developed in both China and India.......not Arabia.

False again.

All the Ancient Greek texts where preserved in the Greek speaking orthodox Christian Byzantine empire.....which was not destroyed by the Muslims until 1453.

The ancient Latin texts where preserved in western monasteries. We have letters from Celtic monks in Ireland in the 700s quoting vigil and even Roman era dramas and plays.

A small number of Arab writers did re-popularize some of those texts much later on.

That's a far far cry from "saving western civ."
