cphil006 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Glad you asked. Check it out...If you use numbers for letters where A=1, B=2 ... Z=26 Then you get... Monk = 13, 15, 14, 11 Zorn = 26, 15, 18, 14 If you add those numbers you get Monk = 53 and Zorn = 73. Add that and you get 126. Then if you add their ages together (Monk is 51 and Zorn is 54) that's 105. Now, stay with me, if you subtract 105 from 126 you get, you guessed it 21. Coincidence?? :whoknows: I think not! :point2sky OMG. That was impressive... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carter23 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have to say, I noticed this right when Zorn was hired. I said to myself, "wow, James Arthur Zorn." And we just had James Arthur Monk inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Redskin. That's a cool connection.Then I thought about posting it here on ExtremeSkins, but decided against it. I did a quick calculation in my head, and decided the best reaction I was going to get would be something like "Wow, that's neat" whereas on the other end of the spectrum, I was going to get "shut up n00b, what a waste of a thread, close this stupid thing NNT NNT NNT NNT!!! w00t pwned!!" After carefully considering this, and remembering the "Not all thoughts should be threads" maxim, I didn't post. Then I used the search function and found out that you already had. Conclusion: 1. Not all thoughts should be threads works sometimes, but then someone else goes and ruins my good intentions. 2. The search function does actually work occasionally. 3. I'm surprised you didn't get jumped on worse, maybe the offseason is softening everyone up. Or perhaps the fact that we have a head coach named has gotten folks to relax a little. Either way, this would probably have been better as part of a larger thread. don't hate the playa, hate the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGreenistheBest Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Capitalize their last names, MONK and ZORN. Now, take the R in ZORN and erase the connection between the long part of the letter and the top right of the bubble of R. You get K. Now, turn the Z on it's side and twist the right half of the letter 180 degrees. You get M. MOKN. It's an anagram for MONK. They are, in fact, the same person.

DjTj Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 :laugh: This thread is awesome. I also just realized that Art Monk is a second cousin of Thelonious Monk, the renowned jazz pianist who recorded several critically-acclaimed albums for Blue Note Records in the late 40's and early 50's. Not long after that, a pianist named Sonny Clark also recorded at Blue Note, where he released hit songs like "Voodoo," "Nicely," and "Something Special." Clark died young, but he remained an important figure in jazz and bebop history. Thirty years later, the Sonny Clark Memorial Quartet produced an album honoring the late Clark with new interpretations of his classic songs. The Quartet was led by an avante-garde saxophonist by the name of John Zorn. As far as I know, John Zorn is not related to Jim Zorn. :yikes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badgerrocks Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I like that our coaches initials are JAZ, which almost ties in with the John Zorn thingy above. Do you suppose he has Jaz hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
