Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards, **Robert** , we’re glad to have you with us.

It’s helpful to other readers, when you start a thread, to provide a link to the Staff Report. Yes, it’s on the front page now, but in a few days it will vanish into the depths of the Archives. So, a link saves search time. In this case: [What’s up with 666, ‘the mark of the beast’?](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/m666.html)

Also, since we already have about six threads in response to this Staff Report, I’m going to suggest that we keep additional joke refs to one thread: [Common Denominator of the Beast](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=366380).
