The "Bible Code"
Crazy Cooter:
I watched a program on the "Bible Code" the other night and it was pretty interesting. Some people say it's real, some say it's not, but statistically is sounds odd enough that it's kind of creepy. Anyone else watch it? It was on the history channel.
For those that don't know of it (I had no idea):
There *appears* to be some kind of cryptostuff in the old writings of the bible. If you search for a term, there are other words "coded" around it. Kind of like a crossword puzzle where you take one word and then find other words that have an association with the first.
Here's a good explanation of it:

Ya I watched it. but what got me was the nobody was using the same technique to find the answers. They were yabbering on about how my tech is better and that I can find anything.. yadda yadda yadda. the thing about this things are you never know until something happends and then they say. LOOK LOOK its right there.

I saw a similar show one time - in it they showed that someone ran the same algorithm against 'Moby Dick" and came up with substantially similar results.
FWIW

If you look hard enough, you can create associations between anything and everything.
Crazy Cooter:
They mentioned the Moby Dick stuff but said that the matrixes in the Bible were "tighter".
