It is not a pleasant fact of history that the the encoding of the name AL-QEADA using the mnemonic major system yields the number 175, just as it is not a pleasant fact of history that certain other historic events such as the holocaust or the murder of actress Sharon Tate because Charles Manson and his followers claimed to be recieving messages from the Beatles in the lyrics of the song Helter Skelter, actually occured.
Mr. RickK seems so be taking a revisionist view of history that certain events, which seem either implausible, unlikely, or unpleasant, or in some combination thereof, must therefore be "nonesense" and subject to deletion, without having made any effort toward verification. How would other wikipedians feel if the articles on the holocaust or Helter Skelter were similarly deleted?

- Nonsense links between the California lottery, al-Qaeda and the Lebanese invasion of Syria do not in any way relate to the holocaust, helter skelter, or an encyclopedia. RickK 02:44, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
