LOL.  Topic is now graph codes, not Bible Codes.

I think graph7 would be worse since then we'd have 7 bits to a
character and more bad characters.  Maybe graph5?  But seriously, how
about a standard like Base-64, which would still pack 6 bits to the
byte while using letters, numerals and + and /?  I think this is what
PGP and GPG use for ASCII versions of binary objects.  First paragraph
at link seems to say it all:
