Fun. I learned a few interesting facts ;-)

For instance, I did not know that an evil number has an even number of 1's in its binary expansion.

However, it seems that 666 is not an evil number.

616, on the other hand, is an evil number. I guess we now know which one is actually the number of the beast.

('The latest volume includes details of fragments showing third- and fourth-century versions of the Book of Revelations. Intriguingly, the number assigned to "the Beast" of Revelations isn't the usual 666, but 616.') http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/04/0425_050425_...
