Beastie Update: Arkansas 666 alert!

Finally, people are waking up.

Arkansas legislators are up in arms about the federal government's attempt to standardize drivers licenses nationwide, according to an Associated Press report March 11. (By way of the Dallas Morning News Religion Blog).

After quoting those who "dabble in biblical prophecy" the reporter asks an academic--Carl Raschke, chairman of religious studies department at the University of Denver--to provide some historical perspective. Raschke explains that fears about the federal government and the mark of the beast stretch back 100 years. "Worries about the number 666 came up when the U.S. established Federal Reserve banks and the Social Security system."


Well, we believe these worries are well founded, Prof. Raschke. You may not have noticed--sitting up there in your "ivory tower"--but a government that can audit your taxes, melt the polar icecaps merely by producing a movie, make you take your shoes off before you get on a plane and steal elections with ballot boxes stuffed with "chads" is a government not to be trusted.

But we've noticed something else, professor. We've noticed that if we were to send you a prophetic electronic message, the e-mail address line would be "To: crashkeatdu.edu," which adds up to 663. By adding in the value of the colon, which probably is "3" or should be, the numerological meaning is suspiciously like that attributed in the Book of Revelation to the thrice-damned servant of the Evil One himself, the Antichrist--666.

So I'd watch myself if I were you.

Eternal vigilance is our middle name. (Which is weird, because we usually don't trust people with two middle names. It's like wearing a belt with suspenders).
