If I would own a company with a lot of employees, for sure I will choose with care the right place for the right employee, based on numerology and all other information declared as mystic and non-scientific in the west. I've done (as hobby) numerological characterization for many people and for about 80%-90% of them it's like you read a book describing their lifestyle. Pretty impressive if you know nothing about the person except his/her name and his/her birth date. --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
