Re: Beast's real mark devalued to '616'
I heard about this a week ago on National Public Radio's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" gig. After hearing about it, I immediately grabbed a calculator to see if 616 could be divided, multiplied, rooted, or squared into something interesting. The only math that was really odd was that 616/8 = 77. 7 is thought to be a 'lucky' number, and thus it seemed odd to me that the new beast number could have such a relation.

Oh yeah, another oddball fact: 616 is the area code to Grand Rapids, Michigan according to that same NPR show.(no offense to anyone who lives there.)
