Say hello to my car for me will you?

A Newly discovered fragment of the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament indicates that, as far as the Antichrist goes, theologians, scholars, heavy metal groups, and television evangelists have got the wrong number. Instead of 666, it's actually the far less ominous 616. The new fragment from the Book of Revelation, written in ancient Greek and dating from the late third century, is part of a hoard of previously unintelligible manuscripts discovered in historic dumps outside Oxyrhynchus in Egypt. Now a team of expert classicists, using new photographic techniques, are finally deciphering the original writing. Professor David Parker, Professor of New Testament Textual Criticism and Paleography at the University of Birmingham, thinks that 616, although less memorable than 666, is the original. He said: "This is an example of gematria, where numbers are based on the numerical values of letters in people's names. Early Christians would use numbers to hide the identity of people who they were attacking: 616 refers to the Emperor Caligula." The Book of Revelation is traditionally considered to be written by John, a disciple of Jesus; it identifies 666 as the mark of the Antichrist. In America, the fundamentalist Christian right often use the number in sermons about the coming Apocalypse. They and satanists responded coolly to the new "Revelation". Peter Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan, based in New York, said: "By using 666 we're using something that the Christians fear. Mind you, if they do switch to 616 being the number of the beast then we'll start using that." So there you go Tom, that 666 plate was a waste of money:p

Maybe we could enter Jazz1 as our club racer;)

I bet you're feeling in the pink with 3000 posts;)

Ohhh now you want to cover me in sauce;)

Oh yes;)

You can practice on me any time;)

I'm happy to be a Prawn Star:D

Whatever floats your boat;) Just because the number plate is MGM it doesn't make you a filmstar:p

That's because you spend toooo much time with the MR2 hairdressers:p

Don't know of any other type of corpse;) But from a personal point of view I think it is a fascinating and informative programme. It helps to understand how the body works and is a damn sight better TV than the mind numbing shite that is normally on - Big Brother, Soaps, etc. As has been said before though you don't have to watch it, you have on off button:)

As I said earlier it was a big thing to do to apologise. As for txt spk, well I don't like it but it is a further evolution of the language so it's something we must accept. I get texts from important business people using txt spk and they are hardly pricks.

Brilliant find, started the day off superbly

That's not a slating, just good humoured banter;)

What? I've never slated you:p

Not you as well?

Revealing that on a public forum:blink:

Certainly is Mark. But I like rethread;)

Stick those fingers in the dykes ........ oooeeerrrrr:blink:

You only have to change a design by 10% to avoid copyright.

Some of these have gotta hurt. Might be NWS images around outside;)

Dazsir might get excited!!!!

Some piccies on the outside are NWS. Powerdrill
