Some tells the number of the beast is 6^3. The old cultures did'nt know how to express this, and the true number is 6^3 or 6x6x6 = 216.

To not be flooded by messages, i did a quick search and found a site that explains this pretty well, amoung other things. Should be mentioned, i have no big interest in these things normally ;)

The original quote (translated to English) is "Love of money is the root of all evil". Not the money itself, but the love thereof (i.e. materialism)... blame Apostle Paul for that one.

I was lead to believe that the root of 666 was to do with the Ceasar and his acutal address. This was told to me by a lutheran pastor that did her thesis on money in itself was not evil. Money has no inherent properties but its use by humans is what is either good or evil. I find this rather ironic.

If you ever go to NYC... go to 666 5th avenue... tall black building, with a black marble entrance, and at the top of this big black building, in huge red numbers, you'll see "666"... I think its the corporate HQ for hell :shock:

Also, playboy's NY office is like a block away (in case you need another reason to go there :wink:)

Here is the proof!

A Proof that Girls are Evil

First we state that girls require time and money:
Girls = Time x Money

And as we all know, "Time is Money"
Time = Money

Therefore:
Girls = Money x Money = (Money)?

And because "Money is the root of all evil":
Money = Square Root of Evil

Therefore:
Girls = √(Evil)?

Thus, we are forced to conclude that:
Girls = Evil

Girls may require Time and Money, but that doesn't mean they ARE nothing but Time and Money.

... and the otherwise amusing proof falls flat on its first premise. ;)
