The Passion of the Kaufman (aka Andy's Exodus)


In my attempts to decode the numerical clues associated with Andy's death, I've come across some interesting Bible passages that correspond with his hour of death--6:27. Pick your favorite.

So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land. –Joshua 6:27
(Translation: God supported Andy's plan, knowing it was all in good fun and for the purpose of spreading his FAME throughout the land.)

Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?—Proverbs 6:27
(Translation: How far can I push people before my act comes back to bites me in the ass?)

I have made you a tester of metals
and my people the ore,
that you may observe
and test their ways.—Jeremiah 6:27
(Translation: Perfectly describes Andy's approach to life/death/comedy, don't cha think?)

Andy was not a practicing Christian as far as we know (he was Jewish), but he DID begin carrying a Bible shortly before his death according to close friend Bob Zmuda. Perhaps Zmuda was hinting at something by including this seemingly irrelevant tidbit in his bio? It's not present in Zehme's version.
