I'm guessing Turk 182. Probably subconsciously.

does anyone know how mark and came up with the number 182...no im just kidding. anyways

 

i was playing guitar hero yesterday for the first time in forever and i hit 182 notes...lol well i seem to get 182 alot like 182nd myspace view for someone, 182 characters in txt, the 182 cab in boston, the number comes up alot lately its weird...this happen to anyone else?

 

[im predicting someone will say "its a sign blinks coming back" to be sarcastic... ]

Curious fact
If you take the date of birth of each original member and reduce it to a single natural number, you get the 182...

Mark Hoppus 03/15/1972
3+1+5+1+9+7+2 = 10
1+0 = 1

Scott Raynor 05/23/1978
5+2+3+1+9+7+8 = 35
3+5= 8

Tom Delonge 12/13/1975
1+2+1+3+1+9+7+5 = 29
2+9 = 11
1+1 = 2

You may not believe this theory, but you can't deny it. 

pd: I'm not saying that Blink-182 chose their name by numerology, just that, interestingly, if we reduce the birth dates of the original members, we get 1, 8 and 2.

I removed the “/” to avoid confusion and added a final note so that the most passionate fans would not take it so personally.

Actually, I can because that's really not how math works.

You mean 10 divided by 1 plus 0 isn’t 1?

[Speedo]

In fact, yes, it was raised by Pythagoras. It is called numerological reduction and it was used in Egypt, Rome and nowadays it is used in Judaism.

As I said: the coincidences are there, you are free to believe or not. 
Get mad at the message, not the messenger.

Pythagoras had some great ideas, but this one was a clunker and has been left behind for good reason.

You are right, because he saw numbers in two forms (the material and the energetic). The same thing happened with medicine, chemistry, etc. 

The point is that there is a great coincidence and I think it is very silly to get angry about this coincidence.

[Speedo]

I’m still missing the coincidence …

You really think Mark and Tom sat down with whatever bullshit you’re talking about and used it to come up with the 182? Lol everyday we stray further from God. 

[thongrider]

This is no coincidence!

We all know 182 was Tom’s personal best record for how many times he jacked off in a month.

Lol where did you pull this out of? Just read the plot on Wikipedia and you are correct.
