TOUCH OF EVIL
Apparently, Gematria is kind of a cross between numerology and
the Bible Code. Developed by a Russian, Dr. Ivan Panin, in the late
19th century, it still seems like a hokey pile of nonsense to me today.
But someone decided to put up a
href="http://homokaasu.org/gematriculator/">Gematriculator on the
Internet to calculate different sites' levels of good and evil. Some
examples:
The New York Times: 23% Evil, 77% Good
The Washington Post: 33% Evil, 67% Good
USA Today: 53% Evil, 47% Good
New York Post: 36% Evil, 64% Good
Official White House Web Site: 31% Evil, 69% Good
Lexiphane.com: 1% Evil, 99% Good
So there you have it folks, the Gematriculator doesn't lie. As I've
always suspected, USA Today is by far one of the most evil
newspapers in the country, I suppose edging out the NYTs on the
pervasiveness of its non-words-based news conveyance format. But
Lexiphane is clearly head and shoulders above all the rest, consisting
of just 1% evil to keep things interesting.
