you have no idea how much trouble. yes 'w' was the representation for six prior to the numeric symbols we use today. There is a huge theory that goes along with this issue... 'www' or 666 the "world wide web" and we are all getting stuck in it. it has been rumoured that the anti-christ is already amongst us. It has been stated that by the year 2050 every household will be connected to the net throught their T.V's. It is also prophesized that the anti-christ will present himself to the entire world at one instant. Our new favourite technology will give the anti-christ the ability to fulfill this prophesy. It is also rumoured that he is closely associated with 'APPLE'... seriously.... have a good look at their logo. nice, a bite taken from an apple. seems somehow familiar!

Anything can be made to come out as 666 (most names)
Vicarius Filii Dei, an epithet for the Pope which means literally "vicar of the son of God", adds up to 666 if only the letters with Roman numeral values are included (which would give VICIVILIIDI). This epithet was never used by the Catholic church itself and was likely invented by a person who believed that the Antichrist would be a Pope.
The full name of former U.S. President Ronald Wilson Reagan contains six letters in each of his three names. This caused a few numerologists to believe that Reagan was in fact the antichrist, such as Gary D. Blevins. Additionally, when Reagan moved to California following the end of his presidency, he asked that his house number be changed from 666 to 668. [2]
In Chinese culture, 666 sounds a lot like the words 'Things going smoothly'. It is considered one of the luckiest numbers in Chinese culture. It can be seen prominently in many shop windows across the country, and people there often pay extra to get a mobile phone number including this string of digits. 666 is also the number of cities in China as of 1997.
6-6-6 is Waw-Waw-Waw ("WWW") in Hebrew, since in Hebrew, letters have numerical values. The number 666 however is Taw-Resch-Samech-Waw (400-200-60-6), since in Hebrew, hundreds, tens and ones have different characters.
The Number of the Beast is a concept from the Book of Revelation of the Christian New Testament. The Number is 666 in modern texts, although 616 and 665 appear instead in at least one ancient source.[1] The meaning of the most common variant 666 is still debated today.
One interpretation is that 666 encodes the letters of someone’s name or title, identifying the Antichrist. However, since the reader is free to choose the code, any name or phrase can be matched to the number by finding an appropriate code. The phrase “Vicarius Filii Dei” is an example of this.
The hypothesis that 666 is a code for a Roman emperor seems to have historical support. The emperors were noted for their oppression of both Jews and early Christians. Both communities were known to use numerology and codes where living under Roman rule to avoid persecution. Accordingly, the German protestant theologian Ethelbert Stauffer conceived a Greek gematrical procedure to explain the number 666.[11] Judging from the precise information that the Book of Revelation gives about the person behind the number 666[12] Stauffer concluded that the "beast" can in general only refer to a Roman emperor and specifically only to Domitian, also because he had reigned during the proposed time of origin of the Apocalypse. In addition Domitian's "secret derisive nickname" had been "The Beast" with Romans, Greek, Christians and Jews.[13] Stauffer computed the Number of the Beast using the short form of Domitian's five titles and names A KAI ΔOMET ΣEB ΓE, as derived from the abbreviations on coins and inscriptions.[14]

It does not equal 666.
For one "w" is transliterated as two "vavs" in hebrew, so that would produce 6-6-6-6-6-6.
Furthermore, it wouldn't be 666666, but 36. (Even if w was transliterated as a vav, the numerical value would still be 18, not 666.)

Sort of....
Letters in the Hebrew alphabet are also give numerical values.
A Hebrew W can be read as a 6 according to context.

I thought vav was the 7th letter, but maybe you're right. However, if it is 6, then you wouldn't have six hundred sixty-six. You'd just have three 6s, or 18.
