  4. I saw a pashkevil poster last week that Lettuce causes cancer.

    I'll see if I can find that one too.

  5. It's not just in Bnai Brak- I've seen it in Jerusalem too. Oh, and they've equated it to the Satan as well.

  6. Here are a few phrases from the Torah whose gematriot equal that of פשקויל (526)

    כי היו ידיו כידי עשו אחיו (בראשית: כז. כג.)
    “his hands were like the hands of Esav his brother”

    מתה אנכי (בראשית: ל. א.)
    “I am dead”

    מעט ורעים היו ימי (בראשית: מז. ט.)
    “few and evil have been my days”

    אשר חטא בה (ויקרא: ד. כג.)
    “with which one sinned”

    או בגזל או עשק (ויקרא: ה. כא.)
    “by theft or oppression”

    עונת (ויקרא: טז. כא.)
    “sins”

    ולא יחלל זרעו בעמיו (ויקרא: כא. טו.)
    “one should not profane his seed among his people”

  7. Oh no, here's one that's even worse:

    "שוקולד" (chocolate) = 446 = "מות" (death)

    Time for another pashkevil...
