Oh, Don't Act So Surprised

Hubbard reported on the amazing overlap between Rosa King and Hamerton among other stories.


Let's analyze this.


Pro weird side: She conveniently managed to get killed by a tiger the same day Tiger Woods gets busted for DUI.


And. That's pretty much it. Tigers.


The start of the breakdown into mundaneness begins with the Tiger Woods angle. Zookeepers mauled to death by tigers don't happen every day. Everything that happens to Tiger Woods is news still, and will be for a long time to come. So, think about all the times a tiger DIDN'T kill someone when Woods was in the news. Lazy NIPTUCKs.


I would have scored the zoo name, Hamerton, and the dead person's name, Rosa King having matching gematria as weird if you just left it at that. But you couldn't help but mentioning the "overlapping" in the numbers. Which is only superficially bizarre.


Hamerton and Rosa King are both 40, 94 and 122 in reduced, simple and reverse respectively. I've been over tho before. Words/phrases that have the same number of letters that match in simple have to match in reverse. 1+26=27. # letters x 27 = total between simple and reverse. Has to match.


Reduced is a bit trickier, but rational analysis shows this to be remarkably unremarkable. Since reduced uses just the single digits 1-9 the average total for any random set of eight characters is 126/26 x 8 = approximately 39. Sure some letters are more common, but overall, 8 letters is going to end up right around 40 over the long haul.


Rosa is not the most common name. And to pair that with King to get a total if eight letters looks good in a blog post as mysterious. But there are others. Better call Saul, he matches Rosa. Kyle is the same total. And I can betcha lots of couples named King thought it would be cute to name their new baby boy Kyle for that alliterative effect.


Now the last name King is completely unspectacular. About the 35th most common name in the US, 1.5 % if the population. Yes, this happened in England. I'm sure the lazy NIPTUCKs had a reason to not make the tiger attack happen in the U.S. where Woods lives. It surely is just as common, probably more common over there.


Now since everything King related instantly means Lebron James* you brought this on yourself. King is a nickname for arguably the best basketball player ever. King may be the king of all nicknames. The best PacMan player, the Pac King. The mist degenerate ever, the Kinky King. Now I have lots of believable nicknames to match up with King to go along with my four letter names of Kyle and Saul.


These match Rosa King:
Puke King. Heard that one in college.
Drop King. Haven't seen it, but believable.
Sink King. Found plumbers on the Internet that use this.
Wing King. Plenty of places that sell hot wings use this. It's got that nice rhyming touch. There's a Wing King less than 10 minutes away from me.


So many Kings and yet Rosa's tiger attack just happens to be only related to the NBA finals and Tiger Woods.


If course the explanation is the stat heavy nature if professional team sports. Golf doesn't have enough different numbers. Tigers don't kill zookeepers everyday. The NBA finals are just about to start.


*Mark my words. Any time that the number 142 appears un the future it's going to be a "tribute" to the Manchester bombing. And they wont be able to predict ahead of time when or what is going to happen. I find it appropriate that Hubbard also took a shot at Steven Smith being wrong picking the NBA champion six years in a row, while his own vague prediction of a Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup this year is impossible.
