Thanks for the link.
I think there has to be more than just a numerical equivalence in order for there to be a connection. Interesting about the Devil being a contraction. That may be significant.
There are English sites that do the same, but force of habit, etc. You can input both a word and a number in the search box.
As to the Devil, as the descent into matter (The great cosmic shag!) it makes sense in this verse, if, according to the commentary, the people portrayed here are different angles of controlling and following one's own will, thus living up to their "stardom" and creating their own universes. In a sense, they are all "devils," the creative forces of their existence. That they are "brothers" could infer that they are each following their own orbits in perfect harmony. They are the phallus of the universe.
And yes, you're right, it's always a question of what goofiness you choose to buy into.
