    "Due to a slight mistranslation, Revelation 13:18 is usually written as "the number of the beast ... is 666", instead of the correct "... is 6 by 6 by 6." Hence, the number of the beast is actually 216, not 666."
    the number of the beast is 666. the number 666 stands for being less the perfect completely.

    the number 666 stands for being less the perfect completely.

    I just don't know where to begin with this sentence.

    I still think Robert Heinlein's theory that it's 6^6^6 is more sound, but he was a sci-fi writer and given to grandiose exaggeration.

    From a cultural standpoint, the number of the beast is indeed 666 (if you repeat something enough times, it becomes truth). However, the authors of the book of Revelation intended for the number of the beast to be 216.

    666 is not actually the number of the beast anyway, that arose from a mistranslation of 616, so that factoid is half true...

    Spank your tongue! All factoids are true! That is the very definition of a factoid!
