Sorry, but you really need to hug your favorite emperor.

Many of the ancient languages were alpha-numeric. Each letter was
understood to have a numerical equivalent, and each number had a
corresponding letter. One of the common spellings for the name of the
emporer Nero was "Neron", and the alpha-numeric equivalent is, guess
what, "666". Revelation can just as easily read as a description of
the persecution of the Jews and early Christians by the Roman Empire as
it can be considered an apocolyptic prophesy of the end of the world.
Apparently even the Roman Catholic Church (bunch of liberals, ya know)
endorses the Emperor Nero version of the truth.


From wikipedia:



Some scholars, such as Dr. Delbert Hillers (John Hopkins University) of
the American Schools of Oriental Research and the editors of the Oxford
& Harper Collins translations, contend that the number 666 is a code
for Nero[1], a view that is also supported by the Roman Catholic Church
[2] [3].

Alternative spellings of Nero include Neron which calculates to 666.
The name Nero without the last n calculates to 616 and some manuscripts
of Revelation contain that number instead of 666*"TESTING THE FAITH 666

Now, on to a boating tie in. How many feet in three consecutive
fathoms? 6,6,6. :-)
