666 is just a number the same as 665 and 667, if you are refering to the number of the beast from Revelations 13 in the bible, it is actually 616 but was mis-translated/interpreted probably as 616 didn't sound as good as 666.
Depsite there already being evidence that the number of the beast should be 616 it was thought to be 666 by the majority of theologians, but in 2005 the oldest ever manuscript of Revelation 13 was found and it states the number of the beast to be 616.
Makes me laugh whenever I see someone with 666 tattooed on thier body. I suppose they could add a 1 after and make it 6661, at least that's a prime number.
Lol interesting, I concur, people who would tatoo 666 are not so bright to research it to begin with. After all, most of what we know was written and re-written by the human hand which is flawed by nature to begin with... so all that we know... is a guesstimate of what we observe and have observed from our birth. All language, taxonomy and the numeric system was created on meaning starting with grunts and motions. So is a number really a number? or just a shape that represents a measure of change that exists in the natural world. Crazy universe!
