The Gematriculator uses mathematical patterns to determine the values of “good” and “evil” for a web page. Here’s a good one: “Experts consider the mathematical patterns in the text of the Holy Bible as God’s watermark of authenticity. Thus, the Gematriculator provides only results that are absolutely correct.” What experts are these, exactly? Well, it’s not quite Kabbalah…and oh, the poor misunderstood pentacle…
Another from the “Ask a Former Jehovah’s Witness” mailbag: My father was disfellowshipped when he was a teen in the 80’s and because of that he and his father do not speak. Ever.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day My son came home from school and told me that he was so grateful for Martin Luther King Jr. “Mommy, did you know that if he didn’t tell people to be nice to each other, that I wouldn’t have any black kids at my school? I’d only be with other white kids.” Hmmm. I like his “gratefulness,” I think, although I’ve never known him to use that word before. I like that he instinctively…
