Not to belabor the point, but Edison's main argument for DC was that it was safer than AC. To prove this point he staged a number of gruesome exhibitions wherein horses and even elephants were electrocuted with AC power. It was all for naught, however, as the economics of AC won the day.

In case there was any doubt what Falwell's priorities are:
his official solicitation.

A YEAR-END GIFT TO JERRY FALWELL MINISTRIES

As this year rapidly heads toward completion, I want to encourage those of you who would like to participate in our global ministries to consider making a tax-deductible year-end gift to Jerry Falwell Ministries. All gifts will go toward (1) outreach programs designed to tell people about the saving grace of Jesus Christ, or (2) to information apparatuses such as my "National Liberty Journal" newspaper, "Listen America" radio and television
broadcasts, and this publication. I have committed to not using "Falwell Confidential" as a fundraising tool, but I would be negligent in my duties to raise the necessary funds for these ministries if I did not afford my friends the opportunity to support our efforts. Those wishing to bestow a tax-deductible gift to Jerry Falwell Ministries may do so by either calling our toll-free number (800-368-3801, M-F during office hours, E.T.), or by mailing your gift to:

Jerry Falwell Ministries
"Falwell Confidential"
Lynchburg, VA 24514

Thank you, Jerry

The point of the post on points, circles, and spheres is that number games may have a certain fascination but you need to lay a bit more groundwork here as to what it is you're trying to communicate with these insights. For example, no manipulation or combination of integers or primes will ever yield the constants Pi or e, both of which are of fundamental importance in the "natural world".
