@proloy:

I don't quite follow you here. confused

The $700 billion figure seems to have been the "standard operating fare" all along during these bailout proceedings.

CF: proloy is hinting that a more biblically appropriate sum would be 700 minus 34 billion.

700 - 34 = 666, which according to the Book of Revelation is Satan's favourite number.

@Sam:

Oh, thank you for the explanation. laugh

** By the way, 666 is the number of Satan's demonically indwelt AntiChrist; however, I do not know whether or not that this necessarily makes 666 "Satan's favorite number." **

Thanks for clarifying the subtlety of the point. At least you can't be called ecclesiastically challenged...

Btw, what kind of number is that, actually? Is that his extension number...?
