Scientific Proof that Barney is Satan
by Mary T. Shaw
Given: BARNEY IS A CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR
Prove: BARNEY IS SATAN
1) The Romans had no letter "U" in their alphabet.
2) The Romans used the letter "V" for "U."
3) Using the Roman alphabet: CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR becomes
CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR.
4) Extracting the Roman numerals from CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR,
we get C, V, V, L, D, I, V.
5) Substitute the decimal equivalents for the Roman numerals: C=100,
V=5, L=50, D=500, I=1.
6) Add all decimal equivalents: C=100, V=5, V=5, L=50, D=500, I=1,
V=5
7) The total of the above numbers is 666.
8) In the Bible, 666 is the mark of the Beast.
9) The Beast is Satan.
10) Therefore . . .
