Published today with great fanfare, "The Bible Code" describes the fruits of three Israeli mathematicians in decrypting hidden messages in the Bible by textual analysis algorithms. Blurbs claim that the work passed peer review for publication in a math journal a few years back, was confirmed by "a US Defense Department code-breaker" and predicted the assassinations of JFK, RFK, Sadat and Rabin.

Better, is this book the first of many to come to celebrate the cook-ups of codes and cyphers and algorithmic chefs? Is a film in the works, or, best, a Seinfeld of 0s and 1s?

I will shortly be releasing my new book, "The ASCII Code" which outlines the predictions made based on decrypting the hidden messages in the ASCII artwork sent to the cypherpunks list. Since none of the predictions have proven accurate, my book speculates that perhaps Tim May isn't a cocksucker, after all. All proceeds from the book will be converted to eca$h and used to wager on the predicted date of death for Graham-John Bullers on the AP Bot at: http://www3.sk.sympatico.ca/carljohn/AP/AP.htm DeathMonger
