How Satan Chained The World Veiled In Darkness

[_Everybody Wang Chung]

Nightlion,

I like to think of myself as a math wiz. You forgot some very important things about the number 666:

666 = 3^6 - 2^6 + 1^6

666 = 6^3 + 6^3 + 6^3 + 6 + 6 + 6

666 = 2^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 7^2 + 11^2 + 13^2 + 17^2

666 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 567 + 89 = 123 + 456 + 78 + 9 = 9 + 87 + 6 + 543 + 21



Nightlion, I'm also going to share with you my favorite mathmatical trick. Try this on a few people and they will beilieve that you are magic or a prophet:

Preparation: Ten minutes before you begin the trick, excuse yourself and go to the bathroom. There take a bar of soap in hand and with the corner of the moistened end, carefully draw the number 1089 on top of your left forearm. Let it air dry.

When you begin this trick, ask for someone in your audience that can actually do addition and subtraction correctly.

Step 1) Tell them to choose any three digit number where the first and last digits differ by two or more. Write it down on the first piece of paper. Numbers like 187, 249, 386 are fine, but number like 172, 584, and 928 are not.

Step 2) Tell them to reverse the digits and subtract the smaller number from the larger. For instance, if they initially chose 672 as their number, they would be subtracting 276 from the 672 to get 396.

Step 3) Then tell them to reverse the digits of the difference they found and now add them together. In our example, you would add 693 to the 396. (Of course, notice that the total will be 1089...big surprise, huh?)

Step 4) Tell them to double check their work and to show everyone the final result as you turn your back. Then tell them to write the final result nice and big on the second piece of paper.

Step 5) Tell them to fold up both pieces of paper three or four times so that you could not see what was written on them.

Step 6) Put both pieces of paper in the large ashtray, ignite, and burn completely into ashes.

Step 7) Tell your mark to concentrate intensely on the final result number and tell your audience that you will divine the number directly from the ashes. Go into your Kreskin act. Then pick up some ashes and rub them directly onto your soap-written arm. As you continue to rub the ashes, they will stick to the dried soap and incredibly the answer 1089 will appear on your arm!!

Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Quas, Mercury and I go all the way back to the beginning. He warned us that his fury is piqued. Man's search for relevance. I understand.

He is welcome to come at me as bad as he is able. What ever. I am not going to dance with him though. He needs to get specific and not stupid generalities.

Hi Night!

After a year or so on this board I find that I'm starting to get a little weary of piqued fury. The visceral back and forth was interesting at first, but now I realize it's endless and pointless.

I find that quiet, respectful conversations are much more interesting. I'm hoping to see more of those.

I am not willing to feed into ill behavior. Neither will I remain here to have feces smeared on me by a pompous ass.
