I remember, for a week or so ago, Anders and a few others posted about
"proofing" Astrology, and other weird Ideas... I have read an article by
Asimov, where he takes a number any number, and shows the numerologistical
significance of this very number. I could probably do the same thing...
(Fact is, with 1,2,3,4,5,7,9 and 13 as "holy" numbers, one has rather much
mobility...)

It isn't certain that 666 is the number of the beast, many translations of
the bible say 606.

I personally, regard the last part of the New Testament (I cannot remember
the english name, but it's the part with all the magic numbers everywhere)
as bullshit. (Excuse my french, all you cristians out there.)

I've read *the* major epos in ancient Nordic believe (Vikings etc.). It is
more or less identical, and says just as little about what life's about...

Why not?? It's a rather nice language, especially since it runs on almost
any processor, without that the programmer has to take to much of a special
care... It is also rather stable, virii programming in Java would be rather
difficult...

Ever heard of JavaOS ?? Comes from Sun, is an OS written in and for Java...
