#229: hemeEnsley®
The Ensley® Foundation Wishful Thinking...Through Chemistry™ (Old Motto: Serving themselves since 1992.)

#226: The Troglodyte's Children's Children's Children
Wishman was so called by his people because he was a dreamer. After the children were asleep and no women wanted him, his belly filled from the bounty garnered from the day's hunting-gathering, he wandered out of his clan's shelter to stare at the stars. The rest of his clan knew better than to disturb their patriarch during his meditations.

222 Numerology
THE FOLLOWING WAS EXTRACTED VIA THE SCIENCE OF NUMEROLOGY. METHODOLOGY: What follows was extracted by sequencing together every 5th letter from the book of Genesis, and moving 2 letters back, listing the numerical placement of said letters in the alphabet, multiplying by the numerical placement of the next vowel, then picking the letter coming the closest in whole numbers to the square root of the alphabetical numerical placement of the answer. The punctuation could only be guessed at. And there may be some tense disagreement, which is still being studied.
