               Dan Hansong;
               ... I am always wondering whether there are more
               parallels between Fu Manchu series and COL49 other
               than a direct reference to this name on p.8/9.

Dang. . . .    . . . .that Nicholas Cage actor feller is one scary dude.

               37

               The Tao never does anything,
               yet through it all things are done.

               If powerful men and women
               could venter themselves in it,
               the whole world would be transformed
               by itself, in its natural rhythms.
               People would be content
               with their simple, everyday lives,
               in harmony, and free of desire.

               When there is no desire,
               all things are at peace.

               The foundation of the family is the relationship 
               between husband and wife. The tie that holds 
               the family together lies in the loyalty and 
               perseverance of the wife. The tie that holds 
               the family together lies in the loyalty and 
               perseverance of the wife. Her place is within 
               (second line), while that of the husband is without 
               (fifth line). It is in accord with the great laws of 
               nature that husband and wife take their proper 
               places. Within the family a strong authority is 
               needed; this is represented by the parents. If 
               the father is really a father and the son a son, 
               if the elder brother fulfills his position, and the 
               younger fulfills his, if the husband is really a 
               husband and the wife a wife, then the family 
               is in order. When the family is in order, all 
               the social relationships of mankind will be in 
               order.

               In numerology

               666 = 18 x 37. Thus 37 is the largest 
               prime factor of the Number of the Beast. . . .

. . . .I think we have a winner!
