"Hear
ye! Hear ye!"
Ok,
so this is what happens when I'm left alone in a room that just
has word processing and a disk drive and my brain hurts from Maths
revision.
What�s in a name?
Commonly, a collection
of letters, some of which are capital and often a space. But I�m
not here to talk about any name of course, but that of Shaun Micallef.
I had quite a little bit of fun with it How can
you have fun with a name you may ask. Well�
For starters, if you
touch type it but start on the letter next to �s� you can get:
�Agayn Nuxakkwd�, �Djsim ,oxs;;rg�, �Xnzk k z..dv� and �Wyq7h
j8dqoo3r�. �Agayn Nuxakkwd� sounds like a race of invading
aliens, �Djsim ,oxs;;rg� their evil leader and �Xnzk k z..dv�
the hero who thinks that all earthlings shouldn�t have to die,
so he breaks the code that the alien invasion hinged on, �Wyq7h
j8dqoo3r�, and saves the earth.
If you put all of the
letters in together minus spaces, you get:
�agaynnuxakkwddjsimoxsrgxnzkkzdvwyq7h j8dqoo3r� This can
be both the name of Xnzk�s girlfriend and, when arranged alphabetically
produce the combined isbn number (�aaa dddd gg h I jj kkkk m nnn
ooo qq rr ss u v ww xxx yy zz 783�) of Gillian Ruebenstien�s book
�Double act� and a Stephen Pike novel, �Chilled�, and some others
that I will not bother naming.
If you re-arrange
this, you get the passage:
�Adding no wads you do quak jk jk xxx yzz vwwq dkk rrs ghmn 783�
Which of course makes no sense. However, if you re-arrange the
letters in �Shaun Micallef� alphabetically you can get: �aa c
e f h I ll m n s u� which, when put into a passage can say �Sun
hill malf ace� (Malf being a name of someone) BUT if you put �aaa
dddd gg h I jj kkkk m nnn ooo qq rr ss u v ww xxx yy zz 783� and
�aa c e f h I ll m n s u� together, you can make the passage:
�A cad of a quak quills no 783 and vwikx a dayz yong nvj rss zxx
rwnmm jk hkh adeg.� Which makes no more sense then the other option,
�Jk jk xxx yzz vwwq hills adding no 783 quak dkk rr ghmn sun hills
you do wad malf ace.�
In this little bit
of tampering I have noticed that it is possible to derive the
word �Hills� twice. Looking at things from a numeric perspective,
and turning his name into algebra by pairing the letters in the
alphabet with their corresponding numbers (a=1, b=2 etc.)you can
achieve the following equation:
S=23 H=7 A=1 U=32 N=14 M=13 I=9 C=3 A=1 L=7 L=7 E=5 F=6
Therefore the total
number of his name is 108, which seems a little silly because
if you look at it like an algebraic equation and solve it like
this:
Sx23+Hx7+Ax1+Ux32+ Nx14= Mx13+Ix9+Cx3+Ax1+Lx7+Lx7+Ex5+Fx6
Therefore Sx23+Hx7+Ax2+Ux32+ Nx14= Mx13+Ix9+Cx3+Lx14+Ex5+Fx6
Which is just downright confusing and a waste of time. Time that
I have so I think I�ll waste some more.
I did some baby name
research and found out a lot about the meaning of �Shaun� as the
damn sites didn�t have �Micallef�. Some thought Shaun was a female
name, many agreed it was from a root of �Sean� (though one thought
�John� and originated in Hebrew (some say irish), but there were
heaps of almost conflicting meanings:
(a)God is Gracious
(b) God's Gracious Gift
(c) God gave
(d)God�s gift
Hmm�He appears to be a gift. YAY! Giftie giftie giftie giftie
Gift! I also found this site that claims to analyse your personality
via your first name. This is what it said about Shaun:
Your name of Shaun has created the desire to focus on the
details of your immediate interests to the extent that others
consider you to be fussy. You are attracted to, and could excel
in, the mechanical or technical fields, such as computers. Instead
of establishing the system and order you would like, you are over-particular
in some things that matter to you personally but lax and indulgent
in other ways. You place great importance on whatever you happen
to be interested in, and can be quite thorough and detailed in
what you are doing, but find it difficult to be consistent. You
scatter your efforts when things becomes too monotonous. You have
intense urges and feelings for which you can find no expression.
At times you are motivated more by moods and desires than by sound
logic and reason, and under conditions of stress you could react
inadvertently in temper or stubbornness that you would regret
later.
Riiiight�I believe it �I think I�ll end this rambling now�
