DCLXVI

Yesterday I celebrated the 666th visitor of this blog! Well technically it is the 666th visit, of which certainly half are by me, but if others can brag about visitor numbers, so can I. I'll be an ignorant beast. : )

Of course I still very much enjoy to nag my parents and other Christian's by nearly worshiping the number 666, but it is in fact a beautiful number. ...as the pentagram is a beautiful symbol. Sadly blackened by Roman emperors and popes. Cynically the number 666 (and 616) may refer to one of those history falsifiers: Resh + Samekh + Koof + Noon + Vav + Resh + Noon = 200 + 60 + 100 + 50 + 6 + 200 + 50 = 666 = NERO

[There's more to the number 666.]
