BURNED AT THE STAKE UNDER PENALTY OF TERRAFORMING AND BLASHPAMY.

That was indeed a great movie. One of the most thought provoking ones I've seen. So great... I need to watch that again.

But about the Mark. I think it's just one of those numbers that have lost its meaning. And its meaning was just to invoke fear in God-fearing Christians. Symbols and objects that people give meaning have none at all in most situations.

It's supposed to be one of those date-relevant numbers. Sixth day, sixth month, sixth year. Blah... I probably don't have that right because I never really heeded it. But I feel like quoting a nice little song entitled "Damien"...

Let him who comprehends
Know the number of the Beast
It's the number of a man,
A number just for me

And I believe the full symbol is a circle with '666' in the lower third quadrant. I can't find it anywhere though.

Olmec, I love you.
I think you should meet MegaMouth. You 2 might get along well.
