Odds and Ends on Doomsday
For all my metalhead friends, have a happy National Day of Slayer ... and big party in Hell today, apparently
In other musical notes, I continue to be amazed by the MBE podcs of Brandi Carlile ... wow, that is one hell of an acoustic performance, can't stop listening to it over and over. Her acoustic version of Tragedy is incredibly good.
But back to doomsday, for a moment ... read here again about how the number is probably 616, but then there are numerous examples of superstitions and curiosities regarding the number of a man ... six hundred six score and six
Okay, so you read how scholars think Rev. 13 is actually calculated to 616 ... see here how this ties in with Barry Bonds ... kinda making sense now, no? HAHAHA
On a totally geeky note, 6 is the first of the perfect numbers. What is a perfect number, you ask? It's a number that is the sum of its factors. So, 1+2+3=6 ... and 6, of course, is divisible by 1, 2, 3. For the ultra pointy heads, another example would be 28. Doing the math again ... 1+2+4+7+14=28 ... and divide on your own -- plenty of fun for the life-less
