Actually, turns out 666 isn't the mark of the beast. It would seem that at some point someone had made a mistake in translating the book of revelations, and in modern times its gone unnoticed until a few years ago, when some scholars at Oxford, I believe, went back to the earliest known Book of Revelations (from the 3rd century) and retranslated it. The original number is 616, not 666. Go fig.

Which means there are a lot of incorrect tatoos out there. :)

Yup, and a number of scholars feel 616 was some sort of numerical encoding of Nero's name.

Best,

Yes, I've read about this, though as I understand it, this is still under debate. I'm afraid I don't know why, though.

Huh. I've been telling everyone for years that 668 is the neighbor of the beast. I guess it should be 618. :)

So every post from now on is more than evil?   ;D

Maybe I shouldn't be hanging out with you guys, good Catholic girl that I am.   ;)

Yes, but we still just 'evil'...we haven't progressed yet to "E-vil".

And does the whole 'Catholic schoolgirl outfit and swords' thing fit in here somewhere now?

Oh, damn! Outside voice! ;)

Haha, that's great. But it really should be 668. 667 would be across the street, not next door. :)
