[Garett Press]

[Neo Cassady]

[IAmAmazing]

[Paul Tao]

hmm. i'm going to start looking around for this now

[zizou1790]

haha yeah to bad im reading it at 3:35 i dont really notice 37 that much but i used to always catch 10:59

[LMB]

in a row?

;)

[Tony Pascarella]

My system clock says 3:37.

[zizou1790]

My system clock says 3:37.

weirddDDDDD

[You'reMyElixir]

Yeah, I finished reading that and looked down at my computer's clock: 12:37. Foil hats for everyone!

[theguyinthepyja]

I will be catching the number 37 bus in about half an hour. but then again. the 37 bus runs past my house every ten minutes...

speaking of buses another bus i catch frequently stops at 7 past and 37 past the hour... hmmm

hahah my computer clock says 20:39 so when i read this it was 37 past.

it;'s 37 minutes into a football match on the tv in this room...

ok i'm scared now

[dontgrabtindy]

ya just about everyother number appears frequently

[ItAintMeBabe]

i like the album art

[tsunami_bomber]

we should rig the number of replies so each punchline thread gets 37. that will really freak him out.

[Frank Giaramita]

This is just a mental thing, whether they believe it or not. Every time they see the number 37, they make a mental note of it, while disregaring every time they see any other number (24, 25 ,26 ,27, etc.). I mean, generally speaking most numbers come in 1-100 fashion, so the number 37 has a 1/100 chance of popping up... the average person probably sees over 500 numbers a day (whether it's television channels, temperature outside, etc.) making the number 37 pop up at least 5 times. When you point it out to yourself and make a mental note of it, 5 times is a lot, but generally not more then any other number.

well said doctor/psychologist.

[laxcrs]

wow put on the song dont try this at home on and go to 2:13 into the song and listen to the guy talking in the background...anyone tell what he is saying?

[Sal]

they now have 37,107 friends....right after the release of the cd. thats pretty weird.

I heard they did that on purpose/planned it.

[shwagtm]

im with frank on this one.

[Sal]

i chose 5 as my fav number when i was little...and i make it a point to make everything i do revolve around 5 as much as possible

[TBSowns524]

my friend imed me today to tell me he got a 37 on his math test, and i haven't spoken to him in a while, and when we do speak we don't usually talk about grades

[oiga boiga]

Whether or not you think they're just forcing themselves to see the number 37 or not, I gotta give them credit for being the first band I've seen in a long time actually give their record a title that actually has a solid meaning to it. I'm sick of those run-on-sentence song and album titles. Plus, it's kinda like a LOST thing they got going on with the numbers. I like it. Good for them.

[boldt_action]

Frank is right, what can i say.

well that's the POINT, isn't it.
for them, it's a psychological thing. for the people they tell, it becomes one for them too.

actually yeah, it was coincidental. last year they were trying to get 37000 myspace friends, but it happened on freaking April 11th, the day their cd came out :D
besides, come on. you can't *control* how many people add you.

[Trust]

my friend imed me today to tell me he got a 37 on his math test, and i haven't spoken to him in a while, and when we do speak we don't usually talk about grades
Wow! It must mean something! Maybe Jesus Christ himself is trying to speak to you through the number 37!

This Punchline dude only focuses on the times that 37 appears, for example if his clock read "7:15" when he wrote the update, he wouldn't have said to himself, "Welp, no 37 there..."

Bottom line, if the #37 popped up as much as Punchline makes it sound, I would've noticed it on my own and wouldn't have needed the band to point it out to me.

[tsunami_bomber]

that was your 137th post

[jurzdevil]

from my newspaper: you have 40 minutes to find 37 words in CORROSIVE

[Frank Giaramita]

well that's the POINT, isn't it.
for them, it's a psychological thing. for the people they tell, it becomes one for them too.

No, for him it's more then just a psycholical thing and he truly believes it pops up more then the average number.

"I am obsessed with it, and I really think it means something."

This sentence tells me he thinks it has some spiritual or elaborate meaning, which is fine, but I can't agree with that. I'm a poker player and getting dealt 3-7 happens about 1 out of 165 times, just as much as getting AK, K4, Q3 and any other pair of cards. If the winning poker hand would've been "87", he wouldn't have said to himself "Well, there was no 3-7". Any number can appear to be mre frequent than others if you single out every time it pops up and not every time i doesn't.

[youareallfreaks]

i got the same thing with 69

[shtjames]

i'm pretty sure the number we're all thinking of that pops up excessively is 34...not 37

[screamoutmyname]

Haha ever since I read the explanation in AP Magazine, I've had a few encounters with the number.

[this-hour-drive]

nice idea, I got a chuckle from some of the replies in here.

[straylighthaste]

the same thing happens to me only with the number 38 (lucky number that stuck with me since i was little), or the time 8:38. ive read that there is also a spiritual significance to seeing the number 11...it can get freaky when ive looked up at the clock and saw 1:11.

ya im just rambling but things like this in life are pretty neat.

[kg00d]

Thats crazy

[AbsentTruth]

weird

[zizou1790]

60-23=37 weird? eh

[CantBeStopped]

am i reply number 37?

[fixonplastics]

who cares

yeah thats what i think. i was born on 11/21 and i look at the clock when it happens to be 11:21 a lot but i'm sure if i paid attention then i'd see other numbers popping up.

[astaticskyline]

wow. I read that and smiled, because its weird that they see that number everywhere.

I looked up, jsut because, and the clock on my wall reads 5:37. Fucking rediculus, i shit you not, im not making this up or trying to get attention.

weirdest event of my day.

[YourMusicSucks]

Haha yeah I looked down at my computer clock as I was reading it, low and behold, 5:37.

This is gonna bother me now.

[CorporateFish]

I was actually wondering why it was called that. Crazy.
Great album.

[ForeverInADay]

That same thing happens to me with my lucky number of 2, 342, 397,876, 200......


I always catch 10:10, 11:11, and 12:12 ..every day.

[yufli]

yeah as i read that i actually have noticed that i've seen that number around a bit more often than other numbers but not enough for it to actually stick out like that.

pretty cool though, i must admit...

[danielplaysbass]

yeah thats what i think. i was born on 11/21 and i look at the clock when it happens to be 11:21 a lot but i'm sure if i paid attention then i'd see other numbers popping up.

same thing happens to me...except its 8/14

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Maybe Punchline will start putting the number 37 on their album covers from now on, just like Taking Back Sunday with 152.

[Sal]

whats the significance of 152 ot them?

[LPMagic]

My favorite number (as well as age)... 21 = 3 x 7.

Clerks rules.

- Jeff

[preppyak]

from the site they linked:

"Elaine slept with Jerry 37 times."

The 37th Greek word in Strong's dictionary is "hagiazo", which is translated as "hallow", "be holy" or "sanctify"

37 percent of Presidents had been Republicans.


haha, good stuff

funny at 7:37 Seinfeld will be on

[LiesWithinUs]

It's the exit on Highway 40 in North Carolina where Adam use to see shows.

[Rxbandit22]

Eh i got nothin.

[cahrishurr]

ive been wondering why they called the album that

[A000lex]

I was just wondering why it's called that and then I saw this.

[weworemasks]

I always catch 10:10, 11:11, and 12:12 ..every day.

i always catch 11:11 for some reason.
also i always catch 2:02, for those nostalgic northstar people like myself :(

[Sal]

anyone predicting 37,000 albums sold the first week?

too much?

[Chriz2z]

Best Buy didn't have their CD... I was mad. But, I did get STD, Moneen, and HTL.

[Tom Da Bomb]

chris is going to be one paraniod dude on his 37th birthday.
.....gulp

[ResideInMyMind]

i always catch 11:11 for some reason.
also i always catch 2:02, for those nostalgic northstar people like myself :(

i always catch it at 12:35 for no reason. im not superstitious or anything, i just think its weird.

[resUrectMe617]

interesting

way to rain on their parade, it has personal meaning to them

this album really surprised me, i thought they couldnt top Action especially with the addition of Greg Wood..but they proved me wrong! good job boys!

i just noticed that i have 37 buddies online right now..

i love how you gave examples of numbers. thanks.

[TgE ARTdamage]

Frank's taking the fun out of it :(

jerk.

[JIMMYateEARTH]

I love this CD, I figured it was something like this. Then I realized what caller 10 was about and figuered it was based on the song. I see 21 one alot.

[Achtober]

Since reading this earlier today. I have seen 37 three times. The first less than a minute after reading about the album titles meaning. I think it is a mental thing and they are specificaly taking notice when that number pops up. I do the same thing with certain numbers that have special meaning to me.

[ntingley]

i read this in AP magazine..catchy band

is this cd worth buying?

[danielplaysbass]

i read this in AP magazine..catchy band

is this cd worth buying?

yup.

[handofgod]

how about this for fucked up... IT SAYS 37 IN THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD!

oh shit, even i just typed 37. That's twice in the past 5 minutes. Wow, crazy,























37

shit, there it is again

[_all_star_me_]

thats pretty cool though. that happened to me a lot with the number 13 before.

[eric5776]

I see 108 everywhere. Same story. Not looking for it. Just see it. Watch Batman: Michael Keaton to Kim Bassinger "How Much You weigh?" "About 108". Lost: You have to hit the button every 108 minutes. There is a band called 108. Everyone's got a number. You just gotta find it.
