Depends if your brother or sister is beastly.

Aren't they all?

Actually, 616 is the number of the beast, so 308 is half of it.

Doesn't have quite the same ring.

For some background on this:

Now, back to watching Matrix: Revolutions

"This calls for wisdom: let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. Its number is six hundred sixty-six." (Revelation 13:18)

666!

Back on topic, i have never liked odd numbers, unless they are multiples of five.

If the volume control has numbers i will pester someone until they change it to either an even number or a multiple of five and I would refuse to close my eyes if my alarm clock displayed a different number from the ones specified. Luckily i have two clocks in my room, each a minute apart, so one of my clocks is always on a correct number. I really like the numbers 4,5 and 6 as i then had three in a row.

I also like numbers that are Plaindromes, which can be read forward and back and still be the same number ie 12:21, i always wanted my birthdate to be one of these, ie 19/11/91.

Interesting!

11:11 is one of my favourites because it's the only time on the US clock that has four consectutive numbers.

Now WHAT should I believe? All the THOUSANDS of references I have seen in my life, the BIBLES, shows, internet, etc..... Or ONE vague reference made on ONE page on 6/6/6(June 6 2006, what a COINCIDENCE! ) that replaced a reference removed on 6/3/2006 that had the comment: "m (Removed 'Number of the Beast' talk, that has nothing to do with the year 616)"?

666 google references: 143,000
616 google references: 15,700(A couple I read seem to state 666 is correct)


HEY, Why don't I listen to ALL of it! It says 666 is the mark of the beast! 6/6/6(aka 666) was when a reference to the beast was made! 616 "has nothing to do with the number of the beast[talk]"!

So why did you make this reference?

while I don't hold numbers to be special, I do know that a certain amout of numberage is useful in spells.


however the numbers 4, 8 and 90 hold meaning to me. I don't know know why.

When I was younger I used to think numbers had different personalities.

When you were younger you were right. Numbers do have different personalities, like everything. This is a wisdom we lose as we get older. That's why its not such a bad thing to be immature .

It was said of the great Indian mathematician Ramanujan that "the natural numbers were his personal friends".

Wow, someone needs to count to ten.

I used Wikipedia as a reference, though i usually tend to question it's information, as i could not find a reference for the program (QI) that i originally heard it on.

I am NOT stating that this is fact, i am MERELY pointing out that there are many different points of view.

Some people take what the Bible says as the literal truth, while others see it more as guidelines, yet more people liken it to Fairy Tales.

So, which should you believe? Does it even matter?

(Now you've made me angry and i fear i have said something nasty that i will regret, but i fail to see why you are being so, as i see it, aggressive.)

The Bible is the INFALLIBLE word of the Bible! Whatever the Bible says is what the Bible says. So YEP, I guess you can say I believe it! And "Good Grief Charlie Brown" is the infallible word of "Good Grief Charlie Brown". Far be it from ME to argue "the word of God", or even the existence of same. I was just arguing the word of the Bible.
