  Revelations 13:18.   Chris Barry (crbarry at mts.net)My Personal Programming Depot;  "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three-score and six." Revelations 13:18That still needs context, or it''s just a number out of a hat. ;  It doesn''t. And, I mean, this is on the first freaking page, and it answers this in the first couple posts. 666 is the sum of the Hebrew values for the letters that make up their spelling of "Nero Caesar", who was, apparently, a total dick. He was known as "the beast", and it just kind of stuck.   "Last time, I asked: ''What does mathematics mean to you?'' And some people answered: ''The manipulation of numbers, the manipulation of structures.'' And if I had asked what music means to you, would you have answered: ''The manipulation of notes?''" - S.
