Well, it's 616 anyway, not 666. Theologists have been debating over this for some time, and I believe some scripture surfaced recently (very, very old scripture) that gives 616 as the mark of the beast.
While I am not religious, I do find the prophecies (especially St. Malachy's) to be pretty interesting. Supposedly after this pope (Ratzinger), a "black" (not referring to his skin color) pope will be elect. This pope will be a servant of the anti-christ.
Whether or not this is all a bunch of bullshit is anyone's guess. I suppose we'll find out eventually though, since popes tend not to last for too long (I believe the average time a pope serves is around 5 years).
