[Andrew Amundrud <aamundrud AT yahoo.com>]

Hi all,

I was waiting in the Toronto airport when I stumbled on to a book called "The 
Bible Code". It looked interesting and I thought it was a fictional book 
along 
the lines of Da Vinci Code. I bought the book and read it and it was 
interesting, since getting home I have read a little bit more online about 
the 
skip code in the old testament. It looks like there is some credibility to 
the 
story. My first question of course, "is my name mentioned in the bible?" I 
realize that it is highly unlikely, words with a small amount of characters 
appear in the code quite frequently, while longer words and phrases are less 
likely to be found. Anyways, my name is Andrew Amundrud and having the 
ancient 
Hebraic equivalent of my name might come in handy some day. If anyone can 
help 
me out I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Andrew

Andrew, there is no credibility at all to the thesis, and no real scholar 
believes it.
