When I was in highschool and editor of my school newspaper I got an email declaring, with proof about twice as long as this article, that I was fifth in line to be the Antichrist, after Saddam Hussein, George H. W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, and for some bizarre reason Boutrous Boutrous-Ghali.

They’re all dead, of course. Hmm.

I don't know if this article is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, but Amodei is clearly the patronymic form of Amedeo or Amadeus (Lover of God).

If the rest of his etymological analyses are on par, they can't be taken seriously.

Unless the author wanted to demostrate that by playing with words one can prove anything.
