btoth76 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six" Rev. 13:18
badbluesplayer Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 You kids with your long hair and pointy guitars!! You made me look at that number. Is that bad mojo?
surfpup Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Somehow you gotta freeze that right there, Searcy. I'll minus you anytime it goes to 667!
Guest Farnsbarns Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 666 isn't the number of the beast. 616 is. Anyway, I plussed you so unless Surfpup minuses you again your OK either way!
btoth76 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 That's still under debate. Not willing to find out the truth myself...
Searcy Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Why does the beast have a number? number of what? So you can call him.
btoth76 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Why does the beast have a number? number of what? Hello! In many (eastern) cultures letters of alphabet have numeric values as well. You can calculate the numeric value of Your name too. Mine is 11 according to (one of the approaches) of numerology. There are different interpretations of the meaning of "number of the first beast that cometh from the sea" as well. The net is full of these spooky things. Cheers... Bence
btoth76 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 So. Is 77 bad? <_< Mark of an intellectual person. Cheers... Bence
krock Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 666 isn't the number of the beast. 616 is. Anyway, I plussed you so unless Surfpup minuses you again your OK either way! someones been watching QI
btoth76 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 someones been watching QI Some early christian manuscripts state "616" - but it's not clear whether the handwritten characters are wrong or misinterpreted, or the New Testament adopted a wrong view. Cheers... Bence
Searcy Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 I knew this would happen if I bought a blue guitar dammit.
pippy Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Congrats on an impressive amount of useful / informative and/or funny posts, Searcy! I know they don't REALLY mean anything but it's a good indication of how helpful etc your input has been. I'll probably make you the 'Neighbour of the Beast' by giving you another one... And who would have thought an Iron Maiden song would have made it to a Highbrow program such as QI ? Anyhow... "...the number 666 in Roman notation is DCLXVI; which is interesting, because it consists of one each of the number letters in descending order. (this could give us) a descriptive phrase in Latin, using the initial letters, to point to an individual person as 'the beast', such as; "Domitius Caesar Legatos Xti Violenter Interfecit" "Domitius Caesar violently killed the envoys of Christ." (note that Domitius was the former name of the Emperor Nero). I copied this pile of errant nonsense from the web, BTW.... Therefore it goes without saying that it is true. 666%. P.
krock Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 And who would have thought an Iron Maiden song would have made it to a Highbrow program such as QI ? Iron Maiden didnt make it into the show. They basically just used the klaxon for 666 and said it was 616. Although I tried looking for the clip on google to refresh my memory and loads of viewers have on the QI forum said they dont think its fair
krock Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 There's a QI forum? Here you go http://old.qi.com/talk/
pippy Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Iron Maiden didnt make it into the show.... Must have been my delivery. The material was fine.... P.
