Want to hear something even more fascinating about that number? To start, IIRC, the original King James translation of the book of Revelations describes the mark of the beast as a number calculable by man.
Now, take the English language and assign a number to each letter in ascending order (e.g. A=1,B=2, etc...)
With that we add up all the letters in the word COMPUTER. (english is completely valid in this argument as it is the natural language of it's inventors in this context)
COMPUTER adds up to 111. What do you get by multiplying 111 x 6?
Where am I going with this? For years certain groups have been pushing to make all financial transactions require an embedded computer chip accessible via RFID or other wireless technologies. Basicaly, you'd have to be micro-chipped to buy anything.
Back to the King James version, it states that mark of the beast would be located on the forehead or hand and that people would not be able to buy food or other goods without it. Think about it, where would be the best place to implant a chip for day-to-day transactions? Wave your hand over a scanner and presto, you've paid. Makes you think, huh?

I think it is much more allegorical and gematric than a real physical device. Aleister Crowley also found that somehow his name added up to 666, and he assumed the magical name To Mega Therion, The Great Beast.
He officiated the ushering in of the new aeon of individual freedom, Thelema, under that name. We still treat documents from The Beast 666 as more officious that those from Crowley under his own name.
Immanentize the Eschaton!

It is also the sum of the numbers on a Roulette table, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + 36 = 666.
Makes you wonder a bit, doesn't it.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

That doesn't sound like it will work.

I dunno - it works for other species.
How many chickens would there be if they didn't taste so good? Cows, Pigs?
If we cull and eat politicians, it could (in theory) boost their numbers!
(Or render them extinct, but that's a risk I'm prepared to take)

Well, under this scheme there are more available to eat, so that brings the price down.
And it boosts the economy as well!

And how many have actually succeeded?

You are all more than two centuries late. See Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal .
(He, of course, was referring to the Irish, but today we have more politicians than Irishmen, and they also do more damage.  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Herself likes doing jigsaw puzzles, and she does them on her tablet (about the only thing she does with the tablet) so the cat can't get involved.
So every now and then, I am dispatched to find her a bunch of new pictures from t'interwebs for her to do. Mostly cute animals.
Here's the latest[^]
