CNN, a new headline every 10 minutes...

Standard Method

• Aircraft = 1+9+18+3+18+1+6+20 = 76
• Is = 9+19 = 28
• Now = 14+15+23 = 52
• Lost = 12+15+19+20 = 66
• Aircraft is now lost = 76+28+52+66 = 222

Pythagorean Method

• Aircraft = 1+9+9+3+9+1+6+2 = 40
• Is = 9+1 = 10
• Now = 5+6+5 = 16
• Lost = 3+6+1+2 = 12
• Aircraft Is Now Lost = 78

And by the time I finish this one, already another new headline...

Pythagorean Method

• Enormous = 5+5+6+9+4+6+3+1 = 39, reduces to 12, reduces to 3
• sorrow = 1+6+9+9+6+5 = 36, reduces to 9
• and = 10, reduces to 1
• pain = 7+1+9+5 = 22

And here is the latest update in the hoax of story, 'Malaysia airlines is prepared to pay passenger families $5000 each'.  Talk about hoax-a-licious.  This story is ridiculous and getting more so with each passing day.
