Just had an idea. Been learning gematria, and have some of the words/phrases, and corresponding numbers, memorized to some extent.
I just said in a reply that perhaps God spoke in numbers.
Then I read an article.
And then had an idea.

If I write a browser plug-in, I can have it convert the words to numbers for me. Could hover over a number to see the word it really means, and others, like at gematrix.org .
Could also change what it maps to, as there's Jewish, English, and Simple there.

And there are also others which I haven't had as much exposure to, like Strong's Numbers.
Another feature: switch back-and-forth between words and numbers, with a toggle for both mouse and keyboard.

The page could start normal, and use similar functionality to uBlock Origin to select a page area, and it'll convert that and maybe add a small toggle icon to the page. That should be an option as well.

I would love to have this plugin.
I should start a dev team. I know what I want but the concussions cause memory effects making writing software a lot more difficult.
Well, perhaps I should try. I DID "write" the hello world Chrome plugin a few weeks ago, I just recalled.

The post (and thread) that inspired this -- thanks, @friedbeanz !!!
Watching a 19-minute interview of Frank Zappa, from 1984. Great info about the recording industry!
5 min in, he mentions a video he likes, so I found and watched it -- Tom Tom Club, "Genius of Love", in next.

He said he liked it because it's animated and clever, so I checked it out.
I know the song, from Talking Heads's remake of Stop Making Sense in 1999 (album originally from 1984 -- when the Zappa interview above was; numbers are interesting to me).

8 min in he gives his philosophy -- he makes music for those who like it, and doesn't want to impose it on those who don't -- and she says "What a great attitude; that's neat" and starts to ask "do you" and he interrupts with "It's called 'rational thinking.'"
@yogibear951 This is a Mac Mini; saves HTML to ~/Downloads, and I configured the screenshot to save to ~/Desktop (or it was like that?).
I start the Terminal application, type "cd Downloads", and then to find it I tried a few greps; now that I know what to look for, I'll walk through it:
@yogibear951 First, see if there's anything: "grep -i fasting *.htm*", and that gives a ton of output.
So add something else: "grep -i fasting *.htm* | grep -i two"; still lots of output (sometimes very little and I get the answer then).
So, narrow further; let's remove the file names. --
When I was a child I had four teeth pulled. They used ether, I believe. I must have seen Alice in Wonderland just prior.
As I lost consciousness, I experienced my body folding in two, slipping through the crack in the

dentist chair, between the back and the seat, and falling down a hole with talking playing cards and tea kettles, and a rabbit who was late and had a watch.
They dug some holes in my head, and I fell down one in my head.
Wild! Just saw these two results, from a window I had left wide open from a few hours ago, looking into 888.
I just told my wife this short story, and will now reflect ("think mirror") it here.
As a child, I "decided" that 4 was the perfect number.

This is because, from four numbered items from one to four, two parties can each choose twice, and receive an equal amount, if the order that they choose is reversed on the second pair of choices.
There is a lot to unpack in the previous sentence.

First, I later found that 3 "fits" but only if one party chooses twice, and the other party only chooses once; so, "equality of number of times to choose" is important.
Also I'm a Libra, so "balance" has always been a consideration. Which is really, REALLY weird; as,
