**Author:** ![Prof.Pepperwinkle](https://sea3.discourse-cdn.com/straightdope/user_avatar/boards.straightdope.com/prof.pepperwinkle/32/13627_2.png) [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Prof.Pepperwinkle)\ **Post date:** [August 6, 2014, 10:52pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/questions-only/643491/8612 "2014-08-06T22:52:03Z")
If one converts the letters in the name “Spiro Agnew” into their standard numerological equivalents, (as per “666” being the number of the Beast in the book of Revelation) and then converting those numbers into the Elvish equivalent using the Quenya alphabet as its base, one would, if the above hypothesis were correct, expect to get the answer: “Arathorn”. However, in reality, one receives the verdict of “Denethor”, which is something to ponder on a late summer evening while sipping one’s iced tea. ---
