chicagotribune.com — The day after Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential election, the Illinois State Lottery's winning numbers came up as the "number of the beast"?666. This has some blogs bubbling that this unlikely occurrence proves President-elect Obama is the Antichrist.

Is it any surprise that people who place belief without reason above belief with reason are not welcome anywhere besides in a Church?The sooner that reasonable, logical thinking people stop tip-toeing through Christian's psychotic brand of bulls**t, the sooner we can expose all the lunatics, perverts, psychotics, derelicts, retards, criminals, pedophiles and insane people.

Dugg for the humor alone. The article actually says that the number "666" seems to come up more often in the Illinois lottery than almost any other number, and certainly more than any of the other 3-digit repeaters (111, 222, ... 999).
