Prepare to be amazed by my nerdiness. Ehem!<br/><br/>666 is only thought to be the number of the Beast because the number of God is 777, and various mathematical sums made with scriptures and things add up to 666.<br/><br/>BUT! Recently the oldest piece of scripture was found, written on papaya leaf or something, stating that the number was 616... If I wasn't lazy I'd find specifics... But there you go!<br/><br/>*Jazz hands*
