What's up with the "Bible Code"?

"The Bible Code was a book written by Michael Drosnin in 1997, received enormous publicity, and was a (ahem) nine days' wonder. The idea is that there are hidden messages in the Hebrew text of the Pentateuch (first five books of the Bible), predictions of the future, that can only be unearthed by computers. I want to stress at the outset that I have not read the book, on principle. I think it is laughable, and I do not want to be supportive of it in any way, like by paying money for a copy."
