The Devil's Keyboards are Idle Playthings

Ummmm... I'm not a mathematician but I'm pretty certain there's a mathematical law in play here. I'm willing to put money on the idea that any whole number between 1 and 9 when lined up next to the word computer or calculation will equal the triple digit of that number. 1's = 111, 2's = 222, etc... (pssst... I did it on a spreadsheet and it works).

The saddest part of this story (and there's a couple) are the leaps made from one thought to the next to their intended conclusion.


Jack lays out his primise. (These are in context).

"How computers will be able to track all of us"
"How will 666 be calculated? All right?"
"You can take that listing by A to Z and make those numbers by sixes and then do it for yourself"

Van Impe then adds up the numbers (factors of 6) that correspond to the word computer and amazingly comes up with a sum of 666. Divine calculation? If I didn't know better I'd say this isn't some hokey coincidence, this is solid math. Right?


Let's see if I can follow this logic... Math originated in the Middle East. The Middle East is dominated by Muslim extremists (or pick your own evil-doer: corporations, governments, gays). Muslim extremists use laptops to store devious information to overthrow the Christian world. We're all doomed?

Van Impe goes on to say (somewhat incoherently) that...


"it means that computers are going to be used by this world dictator to control the people and the computer that calculates everything for this world, global Antichrist comes out to 666"

Jack Van Impe's wife Rexella cites him as the architect of this discovery. I think I smell plagiarism!

You know it's one thing to screw with people's rationale and logic, it's completely different to fuck with the numbers. It's like my dad always said about my math problems, either you know the answer or you don't. There's no maybe.


If you're interested in some other craziness with numbers and letters.
