"Too much cake and ice cream I suppose it's just a mistake."
I don't know who all I may have posted to on the Pi thread, but there was that dreadful, rambling post on June 26th with:
"Now, עוֹלָם olam = 146 = the length of the Way of the Patriarchs. I simply make it a Point to go the extra mile."
(I don't have style or sophistication, okay? I just throw it all out there because no matter what I do, someone's going to reject. It's a real picnic..)

Ice cream...
Right after I had posted that I had an idea... to go that extra mile. What was "The Point" at the 147th mile, anything?
One more mile took me to the center of Nof HaGalil. I'd dropped into Street View at the nearby bus stop,
Government Complex/HaTsiyonut Road
Stop ID: 55571
A big MAN ice cream truck took up the scene instead of a view of a bus stop. Looks like it was heading out from the local Strauss factory. Sept. 2022.
All right then, I wanted to know what the ice cream bars were saying. Good for study practice.
I could understand the question but the reply was confusing/idiomatic. These were ice cream bars, so it had to have been something funny.
אחי, אתה שוקולד או וניל
Dude (lit. "my brother") , are you chocolate or vanilla?
.אני חצוי לגבי זה
I'm torn/divided about this.
Then I ran a quick search on the sums (I just never know what might show up.)
The question = 974, which jumped out as the 974 generations -- some really bad actors according to ancient tradition. Orange bar bad?
(Genesis 1:1-5)
With these epic words, the Torah, and indeed the world, begins. The beginning is clouded in mystery, perhaps allegory and allusion.

When commenting on this Mishna, the Talmud makes an obscure reference:
Rabbi Shimon the Pious said: "These are the nine hundred and seventy four generations who pressed themselves forward to be created before the world was created, but were not created. The Holy One, blessed be He, arose and planted them in every generation, and it is they who are the insolent of each generation." (Chagiga 13b-14a)3
The answer = 232, the same as God's first recorded words:
"Let there be light."
Now that was funny (see, the ice cream treats were trying to be funny), because the very next verse informs us:
"And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness:" (verse = 1776)
That's what they were saying..
Dude, are you chocolate or vanilla?
I'm divided about this.
chocolate : vanilla : : darkness : light : : night : day
The beginning is clouded in mystery, perhaps allegory and allusion.
I have trusted sources. "Good Humor" as it were. Even in the name of the ice cream sandwich. It's Tamkor, a portmanteau of ta'am + makor, something like original (source) taste. (I'd seen that word makor on the Hebrew side/bank.)
Nof Hagalil, "View of the Galilee".
(from going the extra mile)
Biden dropped out on National Ice cream Day!!!!¡!!!!!!!!
Poor some rum on the ice cream!
It makes perfect sense.
It’s a Sundae.
