Any idea why it is 6823 times, no less no more?


When compared to the distance Earth-Moon, the total length of the Chinese 
Wall, the Great Pyramid's square root of whatever plus or minus some skull 
measurements...

Any concrete suggestions?

Maybe you have a preference for logarithmic scale?
There's a little touch of mathematical understanding in logarithmic scale, 
don't you think? [spoiled by .xls graph menu, actually, a cause of concern 
to some extent]

Maybe it has some *relevant* [sic] relationship with the height of Notre 
Dame in centimeters according to page xx,yyzz of The Big Conspiracy Made 
Easy (to be published soon).


I noticed the number cannot be divided by 2, 3 or 5, or 23. Strange no? This 
must mean something, preferably bad I suppose. Help, somebody!


Many thanks.
