SIX, SIX SIX! THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST!

If I remember correctly, 616 is the actual number, 666 is a mistake that arose in copying manuscripts over 100 years after the first recording of 616.

That's interesting, although I was only quoting Iron Maiden's song, The Number of the Beast.

Which doesn't matter, of course, because Revelations was intended as political commentary for the time in which it was written.

Actually, it matters to me quite a bit.

As you can see in my signature, I have a doctoral degree in canon law. My specialty being interpretation of early documents, I view complete precision when dealing with the ancient Greek manuscripts that are the earliest sources of the Book of Revelations as very important.

Roll your bluff check, Thunk.
