[FRIAM] Beastly thoughts

[Robert Cordingley]

So how much of the 'yet more...'  math did John, the author of 
Revelations, know when he wrote/compiled it?  Perhaps 1st century math 
was more advanced than we would first assume?  BTW some of the 
referenced chestnuts that depend on such artifices as 360deg 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_%28angle%29) don't (shouldn't) 'count'.
