This morning I looked at a bottle marked "Hand Soap." I converted the letters to numerical values (H = 8, A = 1, etc.) and discovered that H + A + N - D = S + O + A - P.

Then I thought, "Who thinks of these things?! ...Besides me."

My nephew was calculating this "letter value" for words when he was six, I think he was faster than me at it.

Google "gematria" and you'll see an entire community that does this sort of thing on a regular basis.

Heh, it's amazing what you can find sometimes when you actually look, isn't it?

(Just don't assume that actually -means- anything...)
