Re: OT - Enough to Gag a Maggot

	On the original topic.  The totally cracked solutions
for the Phaistos Disk were often proposed by people who
were otherwise bright.  So many people simply know
what's so obvious to us - if you have little enough
material (with the VMs, just select a few pages) and
have a system with enough knobs to twist, you can read
anything into anything.  

	The only thing I found puzzling about the "Bible Code"
books is why the journal of the American Mathematics
Society would ever publish something like that.  I
remember one of the editors saying something like, "We
try to publish things that different groups of our
readers will find amusing [sic(k)]."  A real bastion of
integrity for the purest of the sciences!
