Some silly people were assigning number to letters:
a=6, b=12, c=18, etc.
and coming up with words that have the number 666.
oh, gee, a lot of words are bound to come out if you only use numbers
that 666 is a multiple of.
Actually, you *must* use increments which 666 is a multiple of.
If you started with a=4, you'd *never* find a word that added
up to 666.
factors of 666 are 2, 3, 3, 37 (using the linux command-line
program "factor". See. I'm still a bit on-topic!)
