Problem is, the original number of the beast isn't 666 at all. It's 616.

Right you are, my friend. But 1st, that doesn't make it any less frightening and in current times, 666 is the recognizable mark - the de facto standard, if you will - even if it isn't the original one.

Oh! And 2nd, for strictness purposes, I ~~don't think~~ am sure the devil worshipers of old used the decimal numerical system, so 616 might not be accurate as well. ;P I joke, obviously.
