God had instructed Abraham to sacrifice his son, but at the last moment, an angel came down and stopped the ritual, explaining that god had only meant to test Abraham's faith.

Some time later, god was walking in his garden and spied this angel nearby. He called the angel over.

"So, did you go down and stop the crucifixion like I asked you?"

You guys think thats bad, I tried Chuck's "number of the beast" post on a few of my co-workers, and they didn't get it. I think I need to hang out with a higher order of hominids. (Many of these folks consider "Romper Room" Post Graduate work, nuff said.)

I was trying to figure out some significance to that particular Prime Number.

Oh, and i found this the other day:

Quote:
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I porn-surfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious porn-site of "hot chicks galore",
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour,
"Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my free hardcore!"
Quoth the server, "404."

But what does it have to do with 666?

Werner Heisenberg is pulled over by the cops for speeding. One of the cops leans over to the driver's window and says "excuse me, sir, have you any idea how fast you were going"?

Werner replies "no, but I know exactly where I am!"

When I count on that table, I get 4909 at the 666th prime. (10 per line, 66th line, 6th number.) 4969 comes out to be the 675th prime. Am I doing some thing wrong?

That's what I did and I might have miss counted too? But that was my guess as to what was meant even before I started counting. I'm content to leave it as one of the mysteries of the Universe (had my fill of googling to figure out jokes) :wink:

In one of our Men's rooms at work we have some graffiti that say "Heisenberg may have gone here". 8-[

Nobody knows where the phone number of the beast comes from?
666 is actually not mentioned in the bible. It does however say six hundred, threescore, and 6. or 600 20 20 20 6 which can be grouped as a phone number. Incidentally it is a number in Canada.

Schrödinger had to take his cat to the vet, or did he?
Hawking said he'd try to string enough time together to make a space in his schedule.
Roentgen could see right through the host's attempt at trying to be sociable

Fourier wavered in his decision periodically.

Maxwell just waved at the postal carrier.

Siemens said he would be happy to gain admittance.

Babbage and Von Neuman both calculated they could be there, but Ada Lovelace got stuck in a recursion of trying to find proper clothing.

Watt was sick and didn't have the power to get out of bed.

Nyquist attended and enjoyed sampling half of the delicasies at the buffet.

Joule was the life of the party, with such energy.

Bell was still waiting for his telephoned invitation.
