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?
