I've always been puzzled by this part of revalations...i dunno.
I always wondered about the passage....seems very cryptic.
now translations obviously may be different.
"here is wisdom,let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man: and the number is six hundred threescore and six.
Just the whole..."he who has wisdom" bit... seems like it's saying it's not just straightforward... I dunno. (didn't get much sleep so am tired, wouldn't have usually replied, but we'll see)

Contrary to what we have been conditioned to think of a "physical" mark like an RFID chip, mark simply means characteristic.
Right hand denotes deed, and forehead is the mind.
