Numerology Warning for Les Murray
LES can also refer to:
1. Lake-Effect Snow
2. Large Eddy Simulation
3. Leave and Earnings Statement
(a monthly statement given to members of the U.S. Military)
4. Liverpool Epidemic Strain
(of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa bacteria)
5. Lower East Side (of Manhattan)
6. Lower Esophageal Sphincter
7. Lincoln Experimental Satellite

8. Life Extension Society (the first cryonics organization)
9. Lilliput Edison Screw (5mm)
10. Lunar Escape Systems

In that case, you would definitely be 9.
