[PW] Visa and the number of the beast

[Peter Zilahy Ingerman, PhD]

I took a look at the two web sites for which you included links.

They impress me as gibberish.

Perhaps your patron would like to know that the hexidecimal number 666 
is 1638 in decimal, and the octal number 666 is 438 in decimal; 
contrariwise, 666 in decimal is 29A in hexidecimal and 1232 in octal.

All of which proves, of course, that Halloween is the same as Christmas 
... after all, Oct 31 = Dec 25.
