So it's not like they force-fit it in place - it's more that a clue was left:...the normal spelling [for "circumference"] would yield a numerical value of 106. The addition of the h, with a value of 5, increases the numerical value to 111. This indicates an adjustment of the ratio 111/106...
It's not definitive proof - we'd have to go back and ask the original authors - but it's a lot less shaky than doing some kind of wacky algebra like your "stadia" example used.In the Hebrew Bible, the scribes did not alter any text which they felt had been copied incorrectly. Rather, they noted in the margin what they thought the written text should be. The written variation is called a kethiv; and the marginal annotation is called the qere.
To the ancient scribes, this was also regarded as a remez, a hint of something deeper. This appears to be the clue to treat the word as a mathematical formula.
YOU FAIL IT!
So, I teased you all a while back.
It may've been obvious, but there's now a certain lovely young lady in my life.
She's great - and God's been directing this whole process. I'm excited to see where this goes.

Makes quite the lineup, don't it?
This is just a placeholder JE so I don't forget to update you guys at some point..
I don't know exactly when I'll be passing along the info to you all, but it's good.
God is just too cool. I need to JE a lot more of these experiences.
Spontaneous grins are fun, and they're only a symptom.
More to follow as it enters the public domain...
Regarding my last JE...
I did a little research and found that cats usually eat their prey from nose to tail.
Also, when I came home, the cat had eaten more of the rabbit. I gathered up the remains in a bag and put them in the trash... then noticed that the cat was off in the corner of my yard, waiting to get another little snack.
Here's my Firefox userContent.css for Slashdot. It'll probably go through a couple more iterations, but I'm fairly happy with the results:
A little under 72 hours. They had to plant new poles, the works.
I got to watch them close the circuit to bring it back on, too - it was cool. I thanked them afterward.
I'm still sleeping at the office tonight, though - this is where my ironing board is at the moment, and after doing 9 hours of storm cleanup today (read: raking), I don't want to move any more than I have to right now.
52 hours and counting.

Storm rips through metro, kills 1
A storm spawning destructive winds and possible tornadoes tore through the north metro Wednesday evening, leaving a trail of "significant" damage, the National Weather Service said.
One man died in north Minneapolis when a tree branch fell on him.
I just sipped my first cup of Earl Grey in quite a while.
It brought a smile to my face - this stuff is awesome.
If anyone's looking for a non-carbonated source of caffeine, this is my recommendation.
Oil of Bergamot, thou art truly the most sublime of all the flavorings.
At the moment.
As the credits rolled, I turned to the friend with whom I had seen the movie, and said "It's been a while since I had my butt kicked. It's good to be reminded every now and again."
Michael Keaton had dark, brooding, and intellectual.
Christian Bale has dark, brooding, intellectual, conflicted, and angry. One scene in particular made me think "Wow, this is just like I've seen him drawn..."
Disraeli was pretty close: actually, there are Lies, Damn lies, Statistics, Benchmarks, and Delivery dates.
