Three of the blogs I read have articles about the number of the beat today. Is it a coincidence? I don’t think so – obviously I got something wrong in the eschatology quiz a day or two ago.

Meanwhile, Ben Witherington gives a lot of helpful advice for would be Beast spotters, here is a selection:

· $665.95………………….Retail price of the Beast
· $699.25………………….Price of the Beast plus 5% sales tax
· $769.95………………….Price of the Beast with all accessories and replacement soul
· $656.66………………….Walmart price of the Beast
· $646.66………………….Next week’s Walmart price of the Beast
