Not wrong at all, and "if" your post was meant to be funny... cool. But if not, do you honostley think we do not know Jacks future? FPW has said many a time that he leaves a lot to the readers imagination because it makes for a better story. Somethings he may reveal and others will be left to us. If you can't think and speculate at the charecters thoughts and actions or the authors intention, than why bother reading it?
Bones, it's not the destination. It's the journey!

Exactly!

Also, if you take teh last diget in each number, you get 1, 2, and 3. 1+2+3=6, and 6/2=3, giving you a 2 and a 3, in the right order. I like you b-day...

You'd think that Killing people would make them like you, but it doesn't! it just makes people dead.

I feel for you. My birthday is so close to "Mothers Day" everyone includes that on my card.

I hear ya. I usually got fewer but much better present, though, so I didn't mind too much.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

I don't know what 7 is supposed to mean, except that is probably refers to the Septimus Lodge, which appears in Bloodline and Secret Histories. But it's obviously important.
And to offer my theory of why Maurice didn't kill Jack in the basement in Conspiracies, I think it was the Otherness prohibiting him, because Jack needed to be sent to the Otherness. It wasn't because the Otherness had a score to settle, it was because it wanted to make him part of their army.
I think maybe The Lady (all one person, in my opinion) will have Jack do a "fix", i.e. saving the world. Problem is, since the last book has already been out, and I haven't read it, I could very well be wrong. Kinda sucks when you speculate about something that has already happened.
And by the way, there was a cop named Driscoll in Secret Histories. Could he be the same as Detective Driscoll in Infernal? Hmmm...
