Everyone else is doing it

Well, Mr Stuart is, and PBW started it. No doubt it is already winging its way around the blogosphere as the latest memetic virus. Now that's really evil.

**** THE PROOF THAT james oswald IS EVIL ****

Thus, "james oswald" is 42982.

Turn the number backwards, and add 6 - the smallest perfect number. The number is now 28930.

Add 6891 to it - this is the year a postman in Okhlahoma gone postal, killing 14, written backwards - you will get 35821.

Turn the number backwards, subtract 140 - the smallest harmonic divisor number. The number is now 12713.

Subtract 1887, the year Erwin Schrodinger, known for hatred to all furry animals and heresy, was born. The result will be 10826.

Add 4381 to it - this is the year Vesuvius erupted, written backwards - you will get 15207.

Write 1976 backwards. Translate it to octal - this will give you 15207. Thus, 15207 stands for 1976, the year George Harrison performed the lumberjack song with Monty Python - if you have seen it, you should understand.

You get the picture. QED.

But credit where credit is due. This evil counter comes courtesy of Michal Zalewski, who obviously has too much time on his hands.
