666: The Number of the Beast

Yeah, that song just started going through my head... even though I'm listening to Emperor atm. Anyway that dude in the Musicians forum got me thinking about that, how everyone just assumes that number refers to Satan. Well, that is only one vary narrow interpretaion, and in actuality, the biblical passage that refers to it says nothing about Satan per se... it talks about a beast but it's more allegorical and open to interpretation. Anyway, I looked it up on Wikipedia, and here's a cool document I found that shows a lot of places that refer to "666: The Number of the Beast"

And here's a document describing the various theories on what 666 really means:
