Thus, "MetaFilter" is 25877.

Add 4091 to it - this is the year Oppenheimer, the man who created the atomic bomb, was born, written backwards - you will get 29968.

Turn the number backwards, and add 1950 - the year Steve Wozniak, the faithful worshipper, was born. The number is now 88942.

Subtract 2191 from the number - this is the year Theodore Roosevelt was shot, written backwards. It gives 86751.

Divide by 21, the symbol of the greater sin - the result is 4131.

Turn the number backwards, divide by 3 - the symbol of fulfillment. The number is now 438.

This, written in octal, is 666, the number of the Beast.

It speaks for itself. QED.
