Incidentally, apparently '666' is a mistranslation as the Hebrew numbering system was quite primitive. In deicmal, it's supposed to come out to 660 or summink.

"SIX! SIX ZERO!!! THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST!"  doesn't have the same ring to it though...

Don't repeat nonsense like that if you expect anyone to take you seriously.

Oops, 616. My bad.

From that article it seems more people think it's the triple 6.

Also, from that article, it would appear that the oldest manuscript existing has it as 616. It seems more likely that the older one is more likely to be right, and less likely that somehow, the older authors got it wrong, but the newer authors got it right...

It's hard to say, the original meaning can and will get lost in the translation. Though it doesn't really matter if it's triple 6 or 616, we can't change what it is.

What is nothing, the number? Saying that you can't change what it is doesn't make it anything, that's reading into stuff too much. Just because the Quran is nothing (Yes, I said it) doesn't mean that you are making it something by saying the name can't be changed. Please don't start a overly religious discussion by reading between the lines.

I once bought a box of condoms at a grocery store and it came to $6.66. That made me smile.

Religious, no. Philosophic, perhaps, though I'd hope not.
