A Torah website [1] argues that the absence of Biblical irrationality is
due to "the sages [who] were uncertain if the word kav were masculine or
feminine so they wrote it one way and read it another."
The word kav brings to mind gematriot, which in turn brings to mind
_Perry Rhodan_'s immortals. Immortal "language consists of pictorial
symbols, geometrical signs and strange characters. Besides, it is
composed in a complicated code, which can be intrepreted only by the
positronic brain."
