Is this a Mpls-issues discussion or is it a Talmudic discussion?  We can
look at the literal use of the word "he."  We can then move to the oral
tradition or homelitic stories about Dania Hall and explicate the meaning
of "he."  Or we can search the Kabbalah for the mystical meanings and
ponder the hidden meaning of "he."  I'm partial to using the Gematria (a
form of numerology) to associate the meaning of "he"  and the mystery of
"he" with the rest of creation.

Tell me is is Mpls-issues or is it Talmud?
