I knew there was something about those Scandinavians ;))) .

Vacuuming? :))

Funny that this one seems to like religious words. Since 9 has some importance
for Christians (actually 999), it's deliciously synchronistic :)) .

I knew flames were evil! :))

LOL.

Extremely interesting!!! I'm now wondering if the Maggel orthography is so
contrived only to make sure that *every* word will add up to 666 using this
method ;)))))) . It would be anyway a nice method to come up with funny
orthographies ;))))) .

Anyway, I think everybody knows that when the letters of the name BILL GATES
are converted to ASCII and then added together, you get 666 ;)))) .
