That is intended to evoke a WTF? response. But although this is more mockery than serious linguistic analysis I get the choice of what angle I want to approach this.
And in a weird way, this should make some sense.
A reminder that someone got the bright/really stupid idea that the NIPTUCKS created our entire language instead of gematria just being a practice performed on holy text. Sports and dead 20th, 21st century celebrities being absent from those texts.
You are allowed to do gematria on personalized, that can't be proven. Dreams. Dan heard a loud noise and we got the gematria of LOUD NOISE. Dan did Gematria on the misspelling of Kirk Cameron's name.
It's hard to describe the poem, Jabberwocky in regards to spell checking. A significant number of words were made up. Load it into Microsoft Word and the spell checker goes ape shit crazy. But Lewis Carroll is well known. The heroes "vorpal blade" became part of the lingo in Dungeons and Dragons. D&D is famous enough to be one of the 63 toys inducted into the toy hall of fame. Movies and television are greatly influenced by D&D. Since some of the celebrities involved are dead it's a safe bet that Lewis Carroll was important to the NIPTUCKS.
Alice in Wonderland has the Cheshire cat. Hardly a typical cat by the most common standards. (A cat being defined as "annoying excuse for lazy pet owners that never got a dog.). But nevertheless a cat.
Oh, just for additional ammo...Dr. Seuss, Cat in The Hat, more movies. More made up words.
Lewis Carroll important. Made up words important. Cats important. Personalized events that can't be proven important.
Growing up we had the family cat. Her name was Frisky. She used to wake me up by walking on my pillow and purring loudly so I would get up and feed her. What the family did not have concurrent with a cat was a computer.
Much the same as the waking me up story, cats tend to do things to get attention. I know people that have cats. And you can Google something like "cat and computer keyboard" and find that this is common enough to have made it to the Internet. Cats walk on and/or flop down (notice the purposeful avoidance of having to choose between "lay down" and "lie down") on the keyboard. Their paws or fat asses inevitably striking some of the keys.
Congratulations dumb asses. By not sticking to the original use of Gematria on the Bible you have just allowed your cat to indicate that something like"df dfgddghhsacvvfffdfbvddffc" is now deeply meaningful. It is text. The letters have values.
The odds that your cat will type in, "Jenna Coleman, although pleasing to the eye, should be mistrusted because in fact she is the Antichrist" is exceedingly small. It ranks on the probability of happening scale just above only one thing-gematria having any useful value. The odds your cat will produce a string of nonsense characters that have the same value in simple, non-reduced is slightly better. Any sense that could ever be made would have to be cross matching with reductions and further interpretation of the resulting two digit numbers.
Another big lamprey argument over exactly what is significant. Carroll/Geisel should certainly be considered high up on the food chain of significance. "jnknnmlpkoknknkm" should probably not. But what if your cat just hits "sad"? This could have maybe already has happened. The cat senses you are frustrated at what you are doing on the computer. You're feeling sad, and the cat decides to cheer you up. The keys are close together. You can dismiss it as a remarkable coincidence or do gematria on it.
Two more points about cats and keyboards and Gematria.
Use of an apostrophe is even more difficult for a cat. My keypad requires me to shift to bring up the character. Since these guys just can't seem to get the proper use of an apostrophe right, it makes me think catmatria is not to be taken seriously.
However, in regards to holy text - Satan does have the nickname, Old Scratch. Maybe there's a master plan already set in motion once cats get tired of pushing things off the edge of the table.
You may never look at cats the same way ever again.
