The Mark of the Beast For the Apocalypse inclined, this article means you need to do some revision. I saw a guy with 666 tattooed on his arm, one six was in Roman numerals (VI), one six was in Arabic numbers(6), the last was written out in English (six). It looked pretty cool on his elbow, I'll admit, with good detailed work and composition. This article makes it seem kind of stupid though. All the stoner kids the country over are going to have to rethink those terrible drug induced sorts of markings. Sorry, kids.

Satanists, apocalypse watchers and heavy metal guitarists may have to adjust their demonic numerology after a recently deciphered ancient biblical text revealed that 666 is not the fabled Number of the Beast after all.
A fragment from the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament, dating to the Third century, gives the more mundane 616 as the mark of the Antichrist.
