PEOPLE SEND ME weird things. I much prefer it when they sent me hard data. Nevertheless, some weird things are very amusing:

– begin forward –

Did you know that Bill Gates' real name is William Henry Gates III? Nowadays, he is known as Bill Gates (III) where III means the order of third. So what's so eerie about this name? Well, if you take all the letters in Bill Gates III and then convert it into ASCII code (American Standard Code for Info Interchange) and then add up all the numbers ...

You will get 666, which is the number of the beast:

B = 66

I = 73

L = 76

L = 76

G = 71

A = 65

T = 84

E = 69

S = 83

I = 1

I = 1

I = 1

Add these numbers and they equal 666.

Coincidence? Perhaps ...
