666 Trivia666 is the number of the Beast according to Chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation in the New Testament Bible. Some Bible scholars think that the Beast it refers to may not be Satan but actually refers to Rome, Roman emperor worship and Roman Gods and emperors and those opposed to Jesus Christ and God. Over the centuries there has been much superstition and legends surrounding these three numbers. In recent years it has been fuelled by the date of Tuesday the sixth of June two thousand and six (6/6/06) and the re-making of the horror film The Omen. Doom mongers thought this date marked the end of time when the Antichrist will reveal himself. Other pessimists thought there would be global warming catastrophes such as earthquakes or evil acts such as terrorist attacks. Some expectant mothers and even doctors have put forward, or tempted fate by delaying, their elective Caesarean section dates. Some people embraced the date and chose to get married on the 6/6/6 - even requesting to marry at 6 minutes past 6am!

Many groups and bands released Devil related songs on the 6th June 2006. In Los Angeles, America, the Church of Satan held a high mass.
