LulzSec quits at "50", Got religion? Pentecost means "50"

Jun 25, 2011 11:35PM PDT

Dear Buzz Gang and Crew,
I am sure that all of you have heard or read the tech news throughout the world regarding the recent announcement that LulzSec is quitting their antics and mayhem. Most of the news services seem to be focusing on the groups hacking activities but I found it interesting that they chose to quit after 50 days and on a Sunday. Considering how smart these individuals may be, there could be a more significant possibility related to their recent actions.

The Pentecost is one of the most important events in Jewish Faith. In Greek, Pentecost means "50".

Brief History: "On Passover, Jews retell the story of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and how they truly became free when, 50 days after the Exodus, they accepted the Torah (the five books of Moses) from God at Mount Sinai."

My Point:
Is LulzSec making some bigger claim of Internet Freedom by their actions over the recent 50 days? I am just asking the question.

Later People. Happy
