666 (Six Six Six): The Devil's Number? The Number Of The Beast?

Whilst the letter Vav is a 6, and is a very similar shape to the claw, as @Lb8535 wrote, very few native Hebrew speakers could care less about the 666 meaning.

Also, six hundred and sixty six would not be written Vav Vav Vav.

It would be written Vav Samekh Resh Tav.

This would be written and read right to left, with the first number representing 400 the Tav to the right, then to it's left the Resh representing 200, to it's left the Sameckh representing 60, then at the far left the Vav which is 6.
Literally 400 + 200 + 60 + 6 = 666.

I do not know how to format these in this order on here.


400ת(tav)

200ר(resh)

60ס(samekh)

6ו(vav)

For those who do not know what a letter Vav looks like, it can be found on this graphic.

Bus to Hel.

Conservative downers strike again! This time in Warsaw, Poland, where the 666 bus goes — er, used to go — to Hel for a pitstop.

What started off as a joke in 2006 turned into a red-hot tourist attraction, where people would come from all over to ride the bus, "simply to say they had taken the 666 bus to Hel," reports HuffPost.

But after bedeviled protestors drew their pitchforks, demanding that the damned number be changed, the local bus company finally complied. You can now catch the 669 to go to Hel.
