I find literally everything interesting. Worried about Lovecraftian parochialism. Massive DaDa issues.

I just did a quick-n-dirty biblical corpus analysis to help find a marketing alias for #perl6. Constraints: has to be 4 letters (like Perl). Has to be biblical ('cause "Pearl of great price", and 'cause Larry). Has to evoke Perl-ness, 6-ness. I downloaded the KJV from Gutenberg (love the irony) and frequency data from Wiktionary (upto 1923 usages). Sorted all KJV four-letter words by inverse of frequency. Started hand-selecting.
