Wall Poster Games

In a previous post, I showed you a wall poster claiming that the Internet causes cancer. The proof? Gematria, the system of substituting numbers for the letters in the Hebrew alphabet.

Cancer, which is סרטן , equals 319
Internet, אנטרנט (but spelled without the yud) = 319

Well, someone has taken up the challenge:





This suggest that lettuce, חסה, equals 73

and that autism also totals up to 73.

The poster signs off (nice pun, eh?) by asserting:

There is Faith and there is Blindness.

From a comment the Muqata blog:

Lurker has left a new comment on the post "Sign seen in Bnei Brak":

Oh no, here's one that's even worse:

"שוקולד" (chocolate) = 446 = "מות" (death)

Time for another pashkevil...
