Bible Wordcounts

    I watched an interesting programme the other day called 'Andy Hamilton's search for Satan' and he mentioned that the devil didn't actually appear much in the bible, very few times indeed. And I wondered how many times certain other things appeared, so I downloaded the King James bible in html form and did some word searches.

    word: instances found
    truth: 237
    lie: 289
    good: 854
    evil: 636
    sorrow: 115
    mirth: 15
    sad: 43
    happy: 28
    cake: 38
    pie: 0!
    ass: 26
    virgin: 65
    foreskin: 14
    wine: 102
    gin: 3
    prostitute: 1
    whore: 76
    mole: 1
    ferret: 1
    bake: 35
    fry: 2
    eggs: 7
    milk: 48
    salt: 44
    flour: 77
    water: 714
    'kneaded it': 2
    'baked it': 1
    'ate it': 1

    Nothing really that interesting, was just curious! If you have any requests for wordcounts, fire (273) them over :)

    Never knew they had gin back then! Not that I like it, but it would have lightened the mood if your housemate was a bible writer.

    Gin, in the bible sense, apparently means a snare or something, not alcohol. You must have forgotten rule #187 of being a christian: don't take anything you read in the bible literally.

    No mention of pie? Bloody hell. There's your proof of the non-existence of God right there, folks.

    Try "fear not". I heard somewhere that the Bible lists it 366 times. That's one for every day of the year including leap years..

    Could you post the html somewhere? Perhaps scribd or is it small enough to attach here?

    You could try eata da dung...

    II Kings 18:27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

    Ezekiel 4:12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.

    Malachi 2:3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.

    But I did find a reference to an ox pushing something with 'his horn' in exodus 21, so maybe it wasn't actually an ox (rule #187)?

    I count 55 for hell. Searched "hell " and "Hell" (case sensitive on the second search).
