666 is commonly known as the Number of the Beast in Book of Revelation chapter 13, verses 17-18.
According to translator's comments in the New English Translation (NET) Bible, some maintain that recent discoveries show that 616 could possibly be the correct number of the beast, and not the commonly known 666. A few manuscripts of the Book of Revelation read 616 at chapter 13:17-18, and there are several other numerical variations. Irenaeus' mention of manuscripts having 616 is balanced by his rejection of their accuracy. The reading 616 is intriguing since the conversion of Nero Caesar's name in Latin by way of gematria, Hebrew numerology, comes out to 616. But for this very reason it is suspect because such a reading seems motivated by that very fact and somewhat contrived. Some people say June 6, 2006 (06/06/06) and June 6, 1906 are the days of the Beast.

666 is also the value of the kilohertz frequency of the Bodenseesender, a big AM radio station in South Germany, which is receivable at night in all of Europe. It is also the frequency of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Canberra station.
In the United States, 666 is a brand name of cough syrup.
666 is the port number used by the game Doom (by id Software) when playing against another player via TCP.
In Unix and similar operating systems, a file permission of 666 (which is not uncommon) grants all users read and write permissions on the file.
666 is the sum of all the numbers on a typical roulette wheel. (A typical roulette wheel is numbered from 1 to 36, with one (in Europe) or two (in North America) zeroes. See the point on triangular numbers, above.)
666 is the numerical value of: "ועתה יגדל-נא כח אדני" ("Ata yigdal na koach Ado-nai"; Now, let the power of my Lord grow) (Numbers 14:17). This was Moshe's prayer invoking Divine Mercy on behalf of the Jewish People.
CSX Transportation currently has a GE AC6000CW with the number 666.
666 is a nickname for Benzene Hexachloride, a powerful insecticide and pediculicide. Its chemical formula is C6H6Cl6.
Similar to the Roman numeral occurrence, combining one of each of Japan's coin currency yields 666 (500, 100, 50, 10, 5, 1)
Apple's first computer, the Apple I, was priced at $666.66.
Organic molecules are based on carbon-12, with 6 Protons, 6 Neutrons and surrounded by 6 Electrons.
There is a theory/idea regarding the biblical meaning of 666. Man was created on the sixth day and the Supreme Being is three persons (Father, Son and Holy Ghost). Therefore the number 6 represents man and the fact that it is repeated three times implies that man is trying to be God

i think it's all bogus.

those numbers 666, 616, and 777 (the number of the beast in man) are numbers. they are not dates. Look at the above annotated info provided by Luis and in the book itself, they don't predict when this stuff will happen, they're just numbers with other significance, and humanity loves number superstitions like 13, 77, etc.

so no, i think tomorrow will be boring as usual.
 
And then, don't post, so I can get a screenshot of your 666 posts and add it to my collage of legendary postcounts (Mostly 1337 and 666). :D
