Cracking the puzzle of 51

I know there is an area 51 thread but this is different . I was thinkin' . What is the true meaning of the numbers ''51''? I tried something . The 5th letter of he alpha is E and the 1st is A . Area EA . It's either a games company base or wrong . Has anyone else thought on this ?

Ooooh. Creepy.

Although I think the creepiest bit is that you managed to come up with a theory like that. Do you sit at home with a scrap of paper working out the numerical equivalents of all the game publishers?

Cracking the puzzle of 16:
I'm 16. What's in this? Must be something... lets see... first letter in the alphabet is A, sixth is F. I know! AF! EXACTLY!
Or... it might be just because it comes after number 15.

14=AD

Maybe the year 14 A.D.!?

Come on guys, there's nothing wrong with being geeky about things. If someone hadn't drawn a big circle joining Norwich, Ipswich, Thetford and Dunwich, we'd have never realised Hoxam was the original intended location for Herbert Losinga's cathedral. But spotting something so arbitrary as 51 = EA is asking for this kind of cynicism.

It is vaguely interesting as to why the number ‘51’ is used. Fortunately, ‘Area 51’ is more of a nickname than anything, no doubt its use spurred by the dozens of rumours, claims and theories regarding the site.

A= Alpha
E= Echo

Area Alpha-echo/Area Echo-alpha.

Just to spice it all up

This thread is retarded. Seriously.

If you want to start a real discussion about aliens or Area 51, I'm pretty sure there is a thread about it a few pages back.
