When I landlined you I recommended 'Dan Rivers
& The Da Vinci Code' on television. I've changed my mind,
Excuse syntax. I told you I'm uneducated.
Reassessment of 'Dan Rivers & The Da Vinci
Code.'
Missed the first prog, saw the second in which I thought Danny
Boy was honest, but seeing the third I believe he is too naive
- believing everything 'experts' tell him; Professor & art
historian, chewing his knuckles - gearing up to tell a few porkies
on the painting 'The Last Supper' says: "It's
very clear the figure to the right of Jesus is not female." In
the previous programme they asked people on the street & the
people all agreed the figure in the painting is female (common
sense). Do the 'experts' all
belong to a 'let's fool the people' club. 'Let's
manipulate &
control the common people.'
Map based codes: Take your
home town & using geometry plus celestial angles you could
come up with all sorts of weird explanations for everything
around you. The most intelligent expert was Rabbi Tabrick (cryptologist)
who said: "You can manipulate what you have (letters & numbers)
in all kinds of directions & come up with all kinds of
things."
There was also another book 'The Bible Code' which
used statistical analysis & computers to predict the atom
bomb, President Kennedy's assassination etc. But Dr K Martin
(lecturer in cryptography) demonstrated how other books could
also be shown to predict events, e.g. the novel 'Moby
Dick' and
many other published works. I'm sure Robin Hood and Alice meets
the fucking Wizard of Oz! They could also 'prove' to
be apocalyptic - or apocryphal! Codes have been around forever.
Like anagrams you can make of them what you will: "The
painting of Da Vinci 'The Mona
Lisa' is an anagram of the egyptian god Amon & Isis"
While I was watching the
programme I saw one straight away: Mona Lisa - No Islam,
a? Also anal, Alamo. Dan Rivers was also negligent. He did
not copy on paper the carvings in Roslin Chapel, Scotland,
which some claim to be musical notes, e.g. 'D natural.'
So when Rivers visited a professor of music why didn't he show
the copies and see if the professor could recreate identical
patterns on a tin plate sprinkled with sand when a violin bow
creates vibrations? Not important anyway! You can choose any
mountain range & superimpose a stave - in order to compose
a tune, making music out of mountains! Finally, the Leonardo
fiasco series: 1+2=3+2=5.... You could go on forever & prove
nothing. Ф & the golden ration 1.618 "showing
nature is "graphically" perfect"? Simple observation
proves every curve, every circle, every sphere
in space is far from perfect - whatever the ideals of antiquity.
How can there be such perfection when everything is constantly
changing, even the human brain. In fact, nature proves its
perfection through its 'imperfections.' CONTRAST.
I don't know to which church
you belong, but as there is no proof, and never has been of
any god I imagine it must be Lutheran blind faith: "Faith
alone will save." Rather you than me!
I indicated in my last letter
to you that it would probably be the last. Well, this one is.

P.S. I prefer the American
spelling: 'program.'
P.P.S. Calvin made even faith superfluous.
(No, I've never seen a ghost
or a UFO)
Yes, I like 'pop.'
A popular song is a branching
umbilical cord nourishing the people. I almost forgot - being
facetious is acceptable, Constructive criticism is valuable,
but the last telephone conversation we had you became offensive
saying that if I'm so fucking clever why haven't I found a
solution to 'cot deaths.' As I walked from the phone box
I did find one answer to the problem: Why not suspend the infant
in a perforated plastic/rubber leather sheet 6" to 10" above
the cot's mattress? The perforations allowing the baby to breathe,
even when lying face down. The blanket could be press-studded
allowing baby to move but not the blanket - never put an infant
in a straitjacket of swaddling clothes, as bad as smoking in
its presence. The rectangular frame holding the 'sheet' would
fit inside the cot's rails. A womb-like sleep!
