Just too funny to pass up
From Professor Wright: How the number of the beast is the world wide web. (I don't remember his words, so I'll give it in some sort of formulaic form.)
The number of hte beast is 666 (unless you're Heinlein, but that's irrelevant for this post.)
The world wide web is written as "www".
IN Hebrew, "www" is "vav, vav, vav" (or with Yemenite (I think) pronunciation: "waw, waw, waw"- it's related to the Arabic "waw")
The gematriya (a method of deriving meaning from the numerical values of letters: aleph is 1, bet is 2, etc...) of "vav" is 6.
Therefore "vav, vav, vav" is 666.
Thus the web is the number of the beast, and I suppose, by extension the beast itself.
Once someone I know (the father of the kid I used to babysit for, a genuinely nice man) got an email telling him that because he was Jewish and each of his names (first, middle, and last) had six letters in them- he was the antichrist. Does that make this guy the world wide web???
