Wonderful old myth that has been around for decades or even longer.

Martin Gardiner used it as an example of the nonsense that could be 
invented if you played with number combinations long enough.

But did it really need to be posted to such as spectrum of newsgroups 
such as earth.general?  And/or, woldn't it have been as easy to post the 
punch line (Psalm 46:  read the 46th word from the start, then the 46th 
word from the end) rather than sending people to a rather dull www site?
