Kewl. Six is my lucky number. Check out the wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/666_%28number%29) for some fun facts.

I have six beans, at least from the places which count posts (i.e. not here).

By the time I reach 666, I'll have destroyed Linux so much that you'll all be begging to return to Windows. Such an even shall be an appropriate representation of my bean count. MWHAHA!!!

EDIT: Most likely though I'll end up banned before then. This troll can't last forever.

Far out, maybe there is some truth to 666 being "The Devil's Number" its got so many unusual characteristics.

OH MY GOD! Does this mean that any time I use CHMOD to switch permissions to 666, I am invoking the devil?

Say it's not so!!! Say it is not sooooo!

Indeed CHMOD 666 invokes a daemon. Try apt-get install exorcist to fix it - it comes as standard on Ubuntu CE.

Oh my! Do I have install a special repository from Catholic.org or Jesus.com?

"Exorcist" should be the name of the Linux anti-spyware equivalent once it become more mainstream and ads become a problem.

You do know that the real number of the beast is 616 and not 666? :)

That can't be right! I live at 662 and the guy two doors up is definitely the beast.

But I now know that for l337 H4X0r5, 1010011010 is the number of the beast. I must run now and get a T-shirt printed. Back soon.

I think this is the most remarkable one:


Since the "sine of the Devil" sin (666°) = -1/2 times the golden ratio, this expression has been paraphrased by the humorous quip "The sign of the devil is the opposite of good, but only half as strong."

Contrary to popular belief, 666 is not the number of the beast.

If Iron Maiden says that "666 [is] the number of the beast", then it must be so.

For it is a human number - Its number is six hundred and sixty six. Iron maiden said so (was listnin 2 maiden in English 2 day as well)

Anyone see download (I watched on the live web stream) Maiden were awesome (and MCR got thousands of bottles thrown at them!!)

As soon as I saw the thread title I instantly thought of the next line in the Iron Maiden song:

Hell and fire was spawned to be released.

And I might have heard that song ONCE in the last 20yrs!

I was on a Iron Maiden concert just ten days ago!!! It was one hell of show!!!!! I'm still singing "2 minutes to midnight" as I walk to work in the morning!!! :)

on a side note:
I've read that in hebrew the numbers are represented with letters (like the roman numbers) and 666 in hebrew (or perhaps some old form of hebrew, I have no idea wether and how much it has changed for 2000 years...) is Nero. And as we know Nero liked killing cristians so this is not far away...

P.S. now I checked and this theory is mentioned in the wikipedia page about Nero
