ANTI
'98
The
Truth Shall be Known...
Cute tidbit in today's Globe and Mail:
ANTICHRIST 98?
An Internet surfer passes along a news item: the letters in the name of Microsoft supremo Bill Gates III, when converted to ASCII computer code (A is 65, and so on) add up to 666 if "III" is counted as 3. (This total is the mark of the Biblical Antichrist.)Not being an official computer geek anymore, I don't have an ASCII table lying around. Anyone want to check this out to confirm/deny it?
Who has time to waste to think of this stuff?? Who has time to waste to verify this stuff??? I do.
A simple C++ program:
#include <iostream.h> int main(int) { char* bill = "BILLGATES"; char* gates = bill; int i = 0; do { i += *bill; bill++; } while((*bill) != '\0'); cout gates " = " i endl; return 0; }Output of the program:
BILLGATES = 663
Add the III (3) and you've got:
666.
Now we know?!?
