FWIW, I am close friends with the son of a rather well-known, no longer with us academic person of prominence in NYC. They're super WASPy. We were talking about drugs, and as he put it, "I guess I can never be as cool as my Dad [the family had some ties to the Huxleys] -- Dad actually dropped acid with Huxley once. He didn't like it much, but Huxley had talked it up so much that he was curious enough to try once."

If you subtract the number of letters in John from the number of letters in Abraham, then multiply the difference by the sum of 11+22+1963, you get 5922. Add the digits to get 18. Add the digits again = 9. A magic number.
