hey people peace!!!
the no 666 is in the bible and is mentioned in the book of revelations. it is used to signify the beast which will be sent by the devil to ravage the earth before the end. the number however is human and hence stands for a person and not heavenly creatures! so this 666 is actually a person and not a thing!!!
how's that for jargon!!!
it is also a song by Iron Maiden!!!~LOL!!!!

666 was described by the prophet Daniel. It is a number that was derived directly from Babylonian worship practices. The people of Babylon, alongside the trend set forth by many cultures before them, worshipped a number of gods. The number of them was precisely 37. One, the god of the sun, was the supreme ruler of the other gods. Without him in the total of gods, the number of lesser gods stood at 36.
Babylonians believed in the power of numbers and decided a system that would allow them to control their gods. To do this, they added a numerical value to each of the gods so as to strip them of their "power." The numbers were 1-36. When added together, you see where 666 comes from:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12+ 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 18 + 19 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25 + 26 + 27 + 28 + 29 + 30 + 31 + 32 + 33 + 34 + 35 + 36 = 666
