Title: The number 40
Post by: corndog on September 08, 2020, 04:04:29 PM: Is the number 40 some magical mystical biblical number. It rained for 40 days and 40 nights for Noah , Mosses wandered around in the desert for 40 years and Jesus wandered around in the desert for 40 days, forty days was the period from the resurrection of Jesus to the ascension of Jesus. It pops up in the Good Book 159 times, across both the Old and New Testaments.

A group of us were known as the “440 Club” ... 400 HP and 40 ton per trailer :D :D :D

Maybe it's just really bad translations and forty meant something completely different.
