One of my readers has asked me a very strange question.<\/p>\n
“You know how there’s a code in the Bible?” (Speaking, of course, of The Bible Code<\/i>, that book of errant nonsense. You can find the same damn stuff in Moby-Dick<\/i>.) “I bet there’s a code in your work. I bet there’s a code in Ring Around the Sky<\/i>. Can you check?”<\/p>\n
So what have I done? I’ve spent some time trying to find a Bible Code (or Torah Code) program that (1) is a freeware download, and (2) will search a plain text file that isn’t the fucking Bible. Like, say, a plain text file of Ring<\/i>.<\/p>\n
If anyone knows of such a statistical program — because that’s what it is, a statistical analysis — drop me a line. If there’s any<\/i> sort of message — “Tiggers rule the world,” let’s say — I’d be absofucking<\/span>lute<\/i>ly gobsmacked.<\/p>\n Hmm. I can almost<\/i> see the algorithms in my mind. They’re there, flirting at the edge of consciousness. Almost. :\/<\/p>\n I don’t think there are any Allyn Codes in my corpus of work. I really don’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my readers has asked me a very strange question. “You know how there’s a code in the Bible?” (Speaking, of course, of The Bible Code, that book of errant nonsense.
