Worked 16 hours today. I quit walmart to work landscaping, I make better money but the hours are long. 12 hours a day, Monday-through Saturday, 72 hours a week with killer overtime. I mow lawns now :D. My boss, before he hired me, workedc 43 hours in 3 days and still wasn't able to keep up with the load.

Boss was really happy with me today at the work I did yesterday and today, so he bought the crew dinner at Taipan, a chinese buffet. Worked out really well because the food was fantastic and I Was starving. At dinner he told me he was giving me a payraise and getting me my own company box truck so I can work solo and accomplish twice the work which means more can be accompished between the three of us in one day.

Thirdly, I got a transfer of 250$ from my school to my bank account....what a good day. I also got to talk to my Lady today, which is always the icing on the cake.

The 72 hour workweek also explains why I am on so little now. Less time for shooting the bull on here and more time making dough.

Good post.
I learned that a relatively recent review made note of the error of interpretation of "revelation" :rolleyes: and it's actually 616 *not*
666

Now i've gotta corroborate it.

Congrats anyways.

I don't think the "day" so much as the "whole situation".
If the thread's still up (i'm reviewing - i was gone a while) i'll post it.

I got up, worked at Wendy's(while there I explained about how the whole 666 dealie was actually political commentary, and I also scared the crap out of a couple coworkers completely by accident) and then came home, planning to go out wif my girlfriend, but NO, my mom needs the bloody van. So, I did...stuff. That's about it.

You masturbated, didn't you?

I got laid by two rather attractive women who believed that 06-06-06 was the end of days.

Thank you, superstitous ignorance!

Just once in the morning.

Damn sleep boners.

I had the best day in a long ass time. I had a good, short day at work, then followed it up by taking an 18 year old hot blonde coworker to see The Omen, where she practically jumped in my lap when the-

[spoiler warning] dogs appear out of nowhere in the cemetery where the kid and "mother" are buried. [/spoiler warning]

After the movie, I took her home, where she was "too scared" to go inside by herself. So of course, I walked her in, made sure to check under her bed, and inbetween the sheets too. She helped with that last part. :D

I have to say, it was a good day.

What did you do for 6-6-06?

I impregnated a Jackal and then picked up my dry-cleaning.

Set my Zombie free. :p

Just once in the morning.

Damn sleep boners.

Ok, ok...

Now twice :(

I had school. Then rugby practice... And that was pretty much it.

Finished some shit. Finished building a trailer for a teacher. Finished building an exam for a teacher. Finished a letter to my girl. Finished some left over hamburgers. Finished the new Car and Driver. Didn't finish the end of the world though.

I went to the corner store, bought cheese fries, met up with my ex-bf, got the cd he'd burned for me, went back to his place, "watched" a movie with him, made fun of the movie Batman and Robin with my little sister, discussed how im a terrible person with my friends, ate dinner with the fam, spent hours roaming NS forum, laughing hysterically at some posts, and arguing vehemently over others. Very good day, all in all. Now I get to dream. Gnight, NS

Ok, ok...

Now twice :(
Just remember Jesus is watching you....

Just remember Jesus is watching you....

Eww. Jesus is a peeping tom!

666 wrong number
of prophetic beast?
Newly examined Scripture fragment lends credence to argument it's 616

Posted: May 8, 2005
For centuries, people have been intrigued by the number 666, the "number of the beast" from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament.

Not only is it mentioned in the Bible, it has been associated with the Satanism, universal price codes and the game of roulette, as the numbers on the wheel add up to 666.

Now, the legendary number is getting a fresh look, as researchers are re-examining evidence the number may actually be 616.

In the King James Version of the Bible, the well-known verse of Revelation 13:18 reads:

"Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

While many Bible have footnotes saying the number translated from the original Greek could be 616, experts say new photographic evidence of an ancient fragment of papyrus from Revelation indeed indicates the number is indeed 616, instead of 666.

Scholars in England have been using modern technology to scour some 400,000 bits of papyri which were originally discovered in 1895 at a dump outside the ancient Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus. Many of the sections have been damaged and discolored, but an imaging process is shedding new light on the sacred text, believed to have originally been penned by John, one of Jesus' 12 apostles.

"This is a very nice piece to find," Ellen Aitken, a professor of early Christian history at McGill University, told Canada's National Post. "Scholars have argued for a long time over this, and it now seems that 616 was the original number of the beast."

The papyrus in the spotlight is believed to be from about 300 A.D.

"This is very early confirmation of that number, earlier than any other text we've found of that passage," Aitken said. "It's probably about 100 years before any other version."

The main researcher promoting the 616 claim is David Parker, professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and Paleography at the University of Birmingham in England.

"This is an example of gematria, where numbers are based on the numerical values of letters in people's names," Parker told the UK's Independent. "Early Christians would use numbers to hide the identity of people who they were attacking: 616 refers to the Emperor Caligula."

Many commentators have gone with later copies of text which assign the number 666 to "the beast," believed by some to be the End-time world power.

Some have also linked 666 with Nero, the ancient Roman emperor known for persecuting Christians.

Parker points out the possibility of 616 was considered by the second century church father Irenaeus, who rejected it.

Regarding this new text, Parker told Britain's Church Times, "This adds weight to those who believe that it is a reference to Caligula's attempt to desecrate the Temple in Jerusalem, by having his statue erected there as part of the cult of emperor worship.

"There may be a reference to it in Mark [13:14], where he refers to the 'the abomination of desolation.' But this was overlaid by the Neronian persecutions. People believed that you could get from '666' to Nero because in Greek he is the emperor Neron Caesar. And 666 is one number less than the perfect 777. The text [showing 616] is quite legible to the naked eye. It was published in 1999, but it has taken people time to catch up."

The National Post quotes Elijah Dan, professor of philosophy and religion at the University of Toronto, as saying the new number won't likely have an impact in the popularity of 666.

"Otherwise, a lot of sermons would have to be changed and a lot of movies rewritten," he said with a laugh. "There's always someone with an active imagination who can put another interpretation on it. It just shows you that when you study something as cryptic and mystic as the Book of Revelation there's an almost unlimited number of interpretations."
