Oh, yes. I forgot about that part of the bible that says:
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their Golden Grahams, or in their six-pack of underwear..."
UPC BARCODES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!
UPC barcodes always start and end with the bit sequence '101' and have '01010' in the middle, with bars meaning 1 and spaces meaning 0.
All other decimal values within a UPC barcode are represented by sequences of seven binary digits.
Between the start and middle sequences, binary 1 is indicated by a bar and binary 0 is indicated by a space. Between the middle and end sequences, this is inverted so binary 1 is a space and binary 0 is a bar.
The digit 6 is represented as '0101111' in UPC barcodes, which reads as '| | ' in this example.
Mother of Tolkien, it took me so unbelievably long to figure out how this conclusion had been reached. From tinkering with the numbers in various ways, to counting the black bars and then messing with them, and so forth. And the answer was this stupid.
You're doing it wrong. The full barcode, when translated correctly, reads
E P I C F A I L Y O U N U T J O B.
Honest. :-P
Not every barcode has that "typical six" there. Just grab any object from your computer desk with a barcode on it and you'll know. This picture is referring to three sixes that is, the three dual lines that are marking the start, the middle and the end of the barcode.
The reasoning is that when everyone will receive the mark of the beast, the mark will be a barcode.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
