Which god crashed the Dodekatheon?


Modern Science (HAMMOND, 2003) has discovered the origin
of the ancient Greek DODEKATHEON (The 12 Olympian gods).


You can't very well claim that the number 13 is somehow
special to religions because the Greeks had 12 gods in
their dodekatheon, now can you? The membership varied
but the membership was always limited to 12. Look at the
word itself - DODEKAtheon!

And if I was looking for numeric patterns in classical
religions, I may notice that two of the largest, Christianity
and Hinduism, both have a concept of a Trinity.

So let's summarize:

30 Hindu deities - bzzzt. Plenty more, by the millions.
13 gods in the Olympic Dodekatheon - bzzzt. Too bad you don't know
enough Greek to know what "Dodekatheon" meant. Personally, if I
were to cook up an idea as stupid as yours, I may have seen 12
in the Dodekatheon and 12 Apostles and claim the number 12 is
significant in religions somehow.
3 parts of a Trinity: bzzzt. You latched onto something rather weak, 4
Gospel apostles instead.
1 God in Monotheism? Dingdingding! You finally got a number right!

[snip gibberish]

Did you write that program that takes scientific sounding words
and generates syntactically correct but meaningless sentences from
them, or did you get someone to modify the gibberish generator in
the "Hipcrime" program that someone used to flood usenet recently?
