NUMEROLOGY
Sir.-I was most interested in Hitler’s numerology, as disclosed by your contributor "Thid." I would like to point out that if we include the forename Adolf to the total, it amounts to 1088. Now, add five points for each of the capital letters and the grand total, or totalitarian total, is 1098. A moment’s consideration will reveal that the sum of these digits is 18-which is three times six, or 666! It is interesting to note that Stalin (less the Josef Vissarionovitch D’Jugashvili bit) fails to ring the bell by a mere three pips. Our own Mr. Fraser, who is apparently a degree or two better, is a good five-spot off the Fuhrer’s total, but the Hon. Bob, on the other hand, gets as close as 664. I have now covered close on three fooiscap sheets with figures and I am still going strong. Readers who have tried it will agree that for sheer enjoyment it makes tiddley-winks a back number and Bridge a bore, Try it on your enemies, try it on your friendsabove all, try it on yourself, for if you happen to be carrying the Mark of the Beast around with you, even your best friends won’t tell you.
