Back to the puns page Gematria is a system by which hidden truths and meanings are discovered within words. Each letter of an alphabet corresponds to a number. Numerical values of words are totaled up and then these words are said to correspond with other words sharing the same numerical value. Although primarily used for the Hebrew alphabet, a similar pattern can be used to associate the letters of the English alphabet with numerical values.
PROGRAM Here is a program that will do the math for you. Click the link and then "Open from Location". No, it's not a virus. Type in anything you want, and only the letters will be added up (case does not matter). Digits, spaces, and punctuation will be ignored. Be warned: it's addictive. Here are some interesting qualities of Bemani-related titles and terms.
DDR is the best game ever.
2444: bag really is a ten. B + A + G = 2 + 1 + 7 = 10. If that doesn't settle the disputes now, I don't know what will. Lucky Songs: LA BAMBA has a value of 77, and MAKE IT BETTER has a value of 777. Do you feel lucky? Other "Master Number", or Repeated digits, songs include: AM-3P at 111, Colors (for Extreme) at 1444, MAXX UNLIMITED at 1888, and the two 2444 songs listed above. CRASH! and "Aaron" share the value 202. Coincidence? Pink Rose has a value of 404. Thankfully no one plays it. Remember You is the only song on Extreme with a value of 1337. How ironic. Bad Boys's infamous quote "This is fucked up" is worth 1134, along with "GayTechChris", a play on my friend GameTechChris's name. 1134 is actually "HELL" upside down on an analog clock. So when you turn your digital alarm clock upside down at 11:34, things will get fucked up. |
