OK, but how exactly "right in the middle" are those italics,
word-count wise on that page? And is that the "true" middle,
word-count wise, for the whole book? And what is the VERY MIDDLE
LETTER for both words-counts? And have you considered the numerology
of the first three prime number acronyms starting from the VERY MIDDLE
word(s) or space(s)? And puh-leeze, how could OUR MAN allow for his
perfect creation to exist with two different page-count editions?
Clearly evil is afoot. Or, hahaha, maybe he has planned two very
different messages...
