King James Bible Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

"The newest volume of Oxyrhynchus Papyri contains a fragmentary papyrus of Revelation which is the earliest known witness to some sections (late third / early fourth century). [...]
One feature of particular interest is the number that this papyrus assigns to the Beast: 616, rather than the usual 666. (665 is also found.) We knew that this variant existed: Irenaeus cites (and refutes) it. But this is the earliest instance that has so far been found. The number — chi, iota, stigma (hexakosiai deka hex) — is in the third line of the fragment."

I don't seem to have the correct language installed or something. I see a bunch of boxes.

I can only see the strange boxes as well... I don't know what font he is using... if any. I thought he was just making weird boxes for the shits of it.

It's from that Zalgo junk that /b/ used to obsess over. I just found the font generator. I forgot the story behind how that font happens though.

Wait. All those squiggly boxes are actually supposed to be legible letters?

Well shit me sideways.

Re: Something Extremely Important to Tell the Forums

So, ah, are the boxes intentional, then?

The joke should be a little more understandable now.

Also Nunu, they weren't here a few months ago, so I guess it's alright.

Nunu didn't say that because it's getting tired of zalgo, it probably said that because it's getting tired of the bullshit drama it's causing by butthurt people who can't take a joke. Not saying any names.
