I can hear you thinking: Prove it! Well, I'm going to to just that.
It's all a matter of numerology. All you new-age boys and girls out there believe in numerology, right? Right.
GIVEN:Barney is a cute purple dinosaur.
GIVEN:The number of the beast is 666.
1) Let all u's become v's. (As in Roman numerals.)
Thus:
Barney is a cVte pVrple dinosaVr.
2) Extract all of the letters which conform to Roman Numerals.
Thus: cV V l di V
3) Add up the digits according to Roman numerics.
Thus: cV = 100 + 5
V = 5
l = 50
di = 500 + 1
V = 5
= 650 + 16
= 666
