(antiMusic) If you got that 666 tattoo you may have to have it corrected. If you are afraid to leave the house today in fear of the Beast of Revelation coming to town, have no fear since the Bible passage states it's the number of the beast's name not a date and also since scholars in England last year discovered the answer that the long debate on whether the number was really 666. It turns out it's not, it's really 616.
Researchers in England have been studying 400,000 pieces of papyri that were discovered in 1895 near Oxyrhynchus, Egypt. The papyri are believed to date back to around 300 A.D. (about a hundred years older than other sources of the Book Revelation.) With the use of modern technology, these researchers discovered last year that the passage is chi, iota, sigma which translates to 616 not the much feared 666. The debate has raged for centuries about who the mystical number represents. Some feel the 616 represented Roman Emperor Caligula (played by Malcolm McDowell) who ruled over Rome at the time the biblical book was written. Others think that the 666 represents Nero. We here at antiMusic suspect that both camps are wrong as our unscientific research finds that the number may refer to either Clay Aiken (birth name Clayton Holmes Grissom) or Katie Couric (no hate mail from the Claybots, it was a stupid joke). That should scare you, but a date on a calendar shouldn't. But to celebrate 6.6.06 our metalheaded sister site Thrashpit officially launches today. (we were going to link you to a Barry Manilow song but decided that was just too evil). Click the full story link to check out the Pit!

You Gay Aiken fans are so funny. A loser of a karaoke contest and the world's largest producer of musical cheese are what you call "real" music? I'll keep my antiMusic thank you very much. Love to hear either of them pull off a Halford vocal. Not gonna happen. But they do share the gay thing at least.

The name of this site says it all. Anti-music can only mean you do not support real music with a tune or people who can really sing such as Clay Aiken and Barry Manilow, etc. You probably should confine your comments to the screamers and the headbangers.

Always a way to get hits. Put Clays name in it. Jesus will return soon, so you all better repent and ask Jesus to become your savior.

Proud of you being able to recognize a stupid, assinine joke. How dare you associate the 666 conotations with Clay Aiken. You could not apologize enough for your misguidedness. Amazing that you throw his name in there to get your hits, using Clay to generate money for your site, while slamming, and maligning him in your so called humor.Hand me the Old Spice as I want to wash my mouth out NOW, to keep from typing one more word about your vileness. Okay, Claymate rant has ended. Have a wonderful day!!!!

Clay Aiken is a beautiful being of light. How dare you even think of connecting him with the mark of Satan. In the upcoming battle of Armageddon, better a Claymate anyday!
