2 to the power of 3 is also 8
but 2 times 3 is 6
and 666 is the sign of the devil.

F**k me I'm setting off at 7:30 instead of 8 tomorrow!!

666 isn't even mentioned in the bible, it's a myth. "The mark of the beast shall be threescore six and six."

A 'score' is twenty. Threescore is sixty. Sixty six and six is seventy two.
The mark of the beast is 72. Whatever that means.

72 seems to be a very difficult number to lift male average mortality beyond.

Actually a stop sign has 10 sides.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

Pops, since you raise the issue, why ‘stop’ there?

Technically, a metal sign would have two sides and eight edges.

A wooden board could have ten sides and twentyfour edges. More precisely, two sides, eight facets and twentyfour edges.

I have no idea how this squares with 666. VM may know. :lol:

Clear you found the most important fact in the entire universe.

Look!

I was born in 1971

And you can clearly see that 8 is in my entire life.

1971 is -1 + 9 = 7 + 1

8 is everywhere. Even the compass has 8 sides. N NE E SE S SW W NW

But there is MORE

Ever notice why I take 8 minutes to have a shower? Or how Octopus has 8 tentacles? Or there are 8 notes in an Octave C4-D4-E4-F4-G4-A4-B4-C5 that's because the name "octave", from the Latin octavus, from octo (meaning "eight").

And excluding the Thumbs, there are exactly 8 fingers on both my hands.

8 is a Fibonacci number.
The next one is ... 13 :shock:
2013... (2 + 0)*(1+3) = 8!
Is 2013 the year of peak oil?

And those born 1972.. don't be upset 2^(1+9-7)=8

The South Pole of Saturn has an octagonal structure.

Is it some kind of cosmic stop sign?
