And of course I AM is translated as Yahweh, which is the last song on the album. This makes a lot of sense, actually. It connects the first song to the middle song (All Because of You with the You being I AM) with the last song (Yahweh.)

Or you can believe the alcohol story.

Can we pause for a minute to commemorate this line of thought as one of the greatest examples of grasping at straws in Interference history?

Bono lost track of his shots after 3 and went straight to 14.

Oh I got another one then.

That first post you quoted says it's Exodus 3:14.

When you load Vertigo from Bomb into Windows Mediaplayer, what is it's running time?

Ayup, 3.14.

Though it's 3.10 on U218 or in iTunes though.

That's what it all comes down to indeed. Bono's extensive math knowledge when he's inebriated.... or maybe he was just hungry for some pie.

nielsgov · 11-05-2010, 07:39 AM

He should be drunk more often then, all those brilliant ideas.

keatontr · 11-26-2010, 08:19 PM

I noticed that he shouts " Two ! Three ! Four ! " in Gloria. ( before asking us to kindly get up/pick it up )

At least there he's counting off the actual beats. And does it correctly.

«At the beginning of the song Bono counts off in Spanish "Unos, dos, tres, catorce!"[7] In English, this translates to "some, two, three, fourteen!" When asked about this oddity in an interview for Rolling Stone, Bono replied "there may have been some alcohol involved"» -Wikipedia
