| | | The number of the Beast!
Just found an excellent site parodying a bunch of Crowley-like material, and offering some others quite seriously. If you don't know who Crowley was, don't worry. You aren't missing anything. Go out and admire the countryside. Breath the air. Look up in the sky. That's important. 
However, one of their parody pieces offered a quasi-serious "qabalistic study of of 666." Given the Far-Right Christian concern with such nonsense, I thought I'd print part of this piece. I read it, and almost blew ice cream out of my nose. Who you enjoy it, as well: 666 - The Number of The Beast.
660 - The approximate number of The Beast.
668 - The neighbor of The Beast.
0.666 - The number of the Millibeast.
666 * SQR(-1) - Imaginary number of The Beast.
666.0000 - The number of a High Precision Beast.
1010011010 - The binary number of The Beast.
1-666 - The area code of The Beast.
00666 - The zip code of The Beast.
7:06am - The correct time of The Beast..
1-900-666-0666: Live Beasts! One-on-one pacts!
Only $6.66 per minute. Must be 18 or over to call.
$665.95 - The retail price of The Beast.
$699.25 - The price of The Beast plus 5% state sales tax.
$769.95 - The price of The Beast with all accessories and replacement soul.
$646.66 - Next week's WalMart price of The Beast.
Phillips 666 - Gasoline of The Beast.
Route 666 - The Highway to Hell of The Beast.
666 F - Oven temperature for roast Beast.

| | | I wouldnt recommend taking off your dentures to scare kids, thats when they run up on the porch, steal you $200 fake teeth, and beat u within an inch of your life. Yes, we kids these days are brutal. Also, poison darts will warant a drive-by by one of their "homies". Yes, we thugs stick together, so watch out you old and feeble persons, make way for GENERATION Y!!!!!!!!!!
