bada-boom, bada-bing.

Weekly Review (Harpers.org):
A papyrologist at Oxford University announced that new techniques in spectral imaging, which make it possible to decipher previously illegible ink on papyrus fragments, have yielded parts of a lost tragedy by Sophocles, a novel by Lucian, and an epic poem by Archilochos; researchers also applied the technique to third- and fourth-century manuscripts of the Revelation of Saint John and discovered that the number of the beast, contrary to popular belief, is 616, the area code of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

That’s good. The number of the beast thing always scared me.

There was a building on LSD that was 666 LSD, but they were forced to change it from peoples fears. Pretty sure that’s true and not an urban legend. I do remember walking into 666 LSD A LONG TIME ago. In the eighties

What do you think?
