So he is basing these super specific conclusions on the measurements of a single dodehycron? This is just silly number theory and can easily be proven or disproven by measuring and weighing another. If one hole is not elliptical then the argument doesn't hold.

I know nothing of this subject, but have to say that I like the idea of druids walking around with the reference objects for size and weight. Does anyone know how uniform they are?

I think you mean 'numerology' - 'number theory' is a serious field of mathematics; the former is the 'study' of numbers particularly in old texts (e.g. the Bible) etc. and finding mystical meanings or links between them.

(Actually they already have 'not to be confused with' links between them - must be a common confusion.)

You are right!
