the number of the beast

yea, i've heard all the wacko prophets talk about it... it's also in the bible: 'And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads'. but now i've seen it with my own eyes in conan o'brien show. there was this professor who was talking about speeding up human evolution by adding some technical components to the brains and body, just like you add more memory for you computer. and, tadaa! he had put some 100 electrods in his wrist! here's some end of the world material for you prophets!
