I have stumbled upon what I believe to be a significant discovery about the works of Richard Dawkins that may bring to light that which goes unsaid by Mr. Dawkins himself. The word "fox" occurs in every single one of Richard Dawkin's books. I will first prove this to you and will later explain why this is important. For brevity's sake, I will give only the first occurence of the word in each book. Readers are encouraged to verify for themselves that what I am saying is true by doing a "Search Inside This Book" search on Amazon.com
Now, "fox" is a rather uncommon word in English. For it to occur multiple times in every single one of Mr. Dawkin's books, over 35 years mind you, is no coincidence. Richard specifically went out of his way to mention "fox" in every one of his books.
So what could this all mean? It's open to interpretation, of course, but one hypothesis I've figured is quite sinister: take a look at what "fox" is in the Pythagorean number value chart:
666.
Of course, atheists often do not like such mystical explanations, so what do you think is a good secular explanation for this strange phenomenon? Is Richard Dawkins secretly trying to tell us something?
