Well spotted Ashley, although I' not sure what books you have been reading "horemen of the appocalypse", sounds a bit rude

Paul

Is that the one about 'if one green bottle should accidentally fall there'll be 9 GBHOTW?

T L O M = √ A E

is the correct one, Biblically speaking.
Although, strictly, the love of money is not the square root of all evil!


Try these:

I T .: I A

as the philosopher said.

I think this one is Biblical:

N S > H M

 

[birdman]

Sure is!

T L O M = √ A E
is the correct one, Biblically speaking.
Although, strictly, the love of money is not the square root of all evil!

Spot on again!

I T .: I A

I think, therefore I am.

As for

N S > H M

I am forced to defer...

This one is easy. Some letters are not the initial letter of the word but just say the numbers or letters out loud and you will get the message -

Reminds me of the 'Folk Alphabet', by Fred Wedlock :

A is for As I Walked Out, as all good songs begin
B is for Brave Boys, the bits the audience joins in
