661 is the number of the beast
666 is a common misconception
( HappyToast sorted on, Mon 13 Aug 2007, 7:20, archived)

That may be very true...
But Iron Maiden didn't sing it like that..

I'd say they're pretty well read for a metal band..
Stuff from Poe, John Wyndham, Tennyson, Coleridge, Aldous Huxley, probably a few more too

This is true
plus of course Bruce's sporting achievements
( HappyToast sorted on, Mon 13 Aug 2007, 7:26, archived)

haha didn't he do fencing or summat?

(Slartibartfast. Is currently ignoring: Slartibartfast, Mon 13 Aug 2007, 7:38, archived)

Olympic level
plus he's a pilot, author, dj and all sorts of other things.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Dickinson
He also looks weirdly young for someone rapidly approaching 50
( HappyToast sorted on, Mon 13 Aug 2007, 7:39, archived)

Not really. He came clean about that a few years back.
He'd be seeded while the Olympic fencers were all resting. As soon as they were back in training he'd be knocked back down the ranks sharpish. He is damned good though.
And a hell of a pilot too.
But his books were shit.

hahahaha, what a cheeky sod :D
So he's the fat kid that's last to get picked for the football team :)
( HappyToast sorted on, Mon 13 Aug 2007, 7:50, archived)

But if he'd been fencing instead of making records and going on tour,
He could well have been real Olympic standard.

Robs us of Olympic glory

I saw maiden playing at this year's download festival
I swear bruce has the energy of a 16 year old on stage

meh you can't really say that now can you
if you ask me the fact that it's technically 616 is just a fun thing to know so you can be a smartarse about it.
(Slartibartfast. Is currently ignoring: Slartibartfast, Mon 13 Aug 2007, 7:30, archived)

It still might not be though.
If it's all based on a mistranslation, which was supposedly proved by a scroll found a few years back. Who's to say that the scroll is correct and not typoed?
( stuj BRING BACK DING YOU STUPID HATS!, Mon 13 Aug 2007, 7:48, archived)

Are you suggesting
that something written at least one hundred years after the events might not be 100% factually accurate?!

Word of mouth never gets things wrong or embelishes stories!

Heheheh.
Yeah! my imaginary friend could smite your imaginary friend!

could have sworn the 1 was at the end, that explains why I get a pizza delivery place when I ring it I guess
