The Paper Codes
The incredibly modest TimBerglund.com reader who sent me this material actually wishes to remain anonymous! He is to be commended for wanting to inform the masses while arrogating no credit to himself. You rock, Todd!
I never realized that so much theology would fit on a single sheet of A4 paper–and a blank one at that! If you can follow the whole thing (I couldn’t; I’m kind of busy these days), I’m sure you’ll find it as life-changing as I probably would have if I did. I mean, check this out:
Let H and W represent the height and width of the sheet in mm; and let P and Q represent H/3 and W/2, respectively. We then have: H = 297, P = 99, W = 210 and Q = 105. The table lists the values of words 2 to 8, Genesis 1, together with the corresponding A4 components which yield a length in mm one more, in each case….Clearly, there is a principle at work here which calls for further investigation.
Yes, yes there is…but it’s nothing a little Haldol won’t fix. More penetrating insights:
Since the A-series is based upon the square metre - and, ultimately, the metre as unit of length - it is but a short step to bring a sheet of A4 into contact with a rule graduated in mm.
Why, you’re right…that really is just a short step. I’d never thought of it that way, but it makes so much sense.
I wonder, is this how entrenched Naturalists see Intelligent Design? If so, I might begin to understand their dismissive scorn for ID, if not their failure to distinguish between a good idea and clinically significant behavior. But I digress.
P.S. Hat tip to Fairchild for her technical help.

This has to be a spoof on Bible-coding, right?

John, I don’t keep up with Camping…is he pro- or anti-Bible code?

Comment Permalink | Posted on June 5th, 2004 at 7:37 pm |The default setting of your printer and word processing program, TulipGirl, only because of your insistence on living and working outside the United States. ‘Round these parts it’s 8.5×11, baby! ANSI “A” size!
It’s just a bunch of Bible-code-style numerological mumbo jumbo applied to the measurements of the standard metric letter-size sheet of paper. If you don’t understand it, that’s a good sign.

And Tim, were you wearing your blue monster fur rave hat or the Jacqueline Kennedy pillbox with the neat little veil? Just wondering.

Comment Permalink | Posted on June 6th, 2004 at 3:28 pm |I don’t wear an I {heart} Michael Moore cap; I actually wear a Detroit Tigers cap so I can look more like my hero. I also carefully groom my beard so it always looks like I haven’t shaved in about a week, gain enormous amounts of weight, and eschew bathing. The lunatic ravings I have to fake.
