Sorry, wrong number
News item: "Scholars studying a newly discovered fragment of the oldest known copy of the New Testament have determined that the Mark of the Beast is actually 616, not 666."
What a waste. All those centuries of paranoid brainpower devoted to finding 666 in the names and serial numbers of people and things.... and all those gallons of tattoo ink and spray paint wasted by young would-be Satanists marking their bodies and neighborhoods.
Hmm... If a real Satan wanted to protect his pet number, so that his marked minions could do their dastardly deeds undetected, wonder how he'd do it? Hmm. ¶ 6:22 PM
