Say what?!  Jerry hasn't read the book;  I have, three times, and
pronouncing it "five" makes absolutely NO SENSE*.  It is, therefore,
probably true, and I conclude that, in order to have such obscure inside
information, Jerry Boyajian is really Thomas Pynchon (or vice-versa).  :-)

*OK, I'll admit I haven't counted the instances of V. in the book; it
could be five, or a multiple of five, in which case it would make some sense.
