I am familiar with some different interpretations of that passage in revelations. 666 in numerology is Master number symbolic of mastering the material realm. Others believe, its just a time when we tame the beast of the material world that enslaved us and take mastery over it. It's actually a good prophecy to some people signifying a mastery of sorts, not a doom and gloom one.
Well, Revelations is either going to be read literally or metaphorically and if so it becomes subject to interpretation. I just wanted to share one I've come across a lot that paints a more positive picture for others to consider.
Who knows for sure what it meant, what John saw, or what the Catholics edited in and out along the way. 
I'm stoked up about 2006!

Woe to you Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number
its number is six hundred and sixty six.
I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
Cuz' in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my
mind
and brings me to despair
The night was black was no use holding back
Cuz' I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
was all this for real or just some kind of hell
666 the Number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
as they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
the ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the Number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes
666 the Number of the Beast
666 the one for you and me
I'm coming back I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course

You seem to forget the fact that the book we're referring to is dealing with the words of a god to whom time is irrelevant. God, being omnipotent, would know if it were to be microchips. God would know every detail of every event down to the quantum particle level and beyond.
The person being spoken to by god was limited to their experience, so in order to effectively communicate to them, god would need to speak to them in terms they understand. This is why Jesus spoke of things common to people of the time, this is why revelations is filled with metaphorical animals and sights, because the author was only capable of comprehending the context within those bounds, such was the overload of information.
It's not exactly fair to criticize the bible based upon it's age. When dealing with an omnipotent God, time does not even matter. Omnipotence dictates that time is entirely irrelevant. An omnipotent god can see 1000BC just as clearly as, and simultaneously to, seeing 30,000 AD. Furthermore such a god is fully able to exert full and total control over every moment of time that will ever occur. All at once.
Given this fact, the age of the bible begins to seem like far less of an excuse to call it tripe. Also, the predictions made for the future based upon it's content are easier to understand.
However, every generation of humanity tends to be a bit arrogant in that they assume their era is so important that the end must be near. To be honest the problems we see as being potential signs of the apocalypse are just petty piles of shit much like that which every generation has endured.
Any christian knows that god told us the end will come without warning and very suddenly. It's a petty waste to keep trying to ignore that fact and predict the apocalypse.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Edda
"The Prose Edda, known also as the Younger Edda or Snorri's Edda is an Icelandic manual of poetics which also contains many mythological stories. Its purpose was to enable Icelandic poets and readers to understand the subtleties of alliterative (metaphoric?) verse, and to grasp the meaning behind the many kennings that were used in skaldic poetry."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iotnar
Ragnar?k and the fire giants
"A certain class of giants were the fire giants, said to reside in Muspelheim, the world of heat and fire, ruled by the fire giant Surtur ("the black one") and his queen Sinmore. Fornj?t, the incarnation of fire, was another of their kind. The main role of the fire giants in Norse mythology is to wreak the final destruction of the world by setting fire to the world tree Yggdrasil at the end of Ragnar?k,"
Oddly, 'Pyr' directly translates to 'eat'.
The funeral pyre, pyramid. One can see how a pyramid 'eats' by incorporation.

?yrre; adj. I. dry, lacking water:-On ?yrran m?r?, Cod. Dip. Kmbl. v. 117, 5. II. lacking sap or moisture:-?ornas ?yre
?yrs, es; m. A giant, an enchanter
" The main role of the fire giants in Norse mythology is to wreak the final destruction of the world by setting fire to the world tree Yggdrasil at the end of Ragnar?k," then is a metaphore to an incorporation

Well not directly:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iotnar
"In Norse mythology, the giants were a mythological race with superhuman strength, described as standing in opposition to the gods, although they frequently mingled with or were even married to these, both ?sir and Vanir. Their stronghold is known as Utgard, and is situated in J?tunheimr, one of the nine worlds of Norse cosmology, separated from Midgard, the world of men, by high mountains and dense forests. When living in other worlds than their own, they seem to prefer caves and dark places.
In Old Norse, they were called j?tnar (sing. j?tunn), or risar (sing. risi), in particular bergrisar, or ?ursar (sing. ?urs), in particular hr?m?ursar. A giantess could also be known as a g?gr.
J?tunn probably derives from the same root as "eat," and accordingly had the original meaning of "glutton" or "man-eater." Following the same logic, ?urs might be derivative of accutal "thirst" or "blood-thirst." Risi is probably akin to "rise," and so means "towering person." In Old English, the cognates to j?tunn are e?ten and eten, whence come the modern English ettin and J. R. R. Tolkien's creation Ent. Ettin is a false cognate with Yeti. [1] Old English also has the cognate ?yrs of the same meaning. [2]"
So I'm thinking the three pyramides at Giza represent three 'Incorporations' which may or may not represent three archetypes. What this has to do with anything I don't know; Except that the fire and burning is probably a metaphore for incorporation. Obviously the archetypes who have a good thing going wouldn't want to lose it, hence I suspect the presentation of ragnarok as such an awful cataclysm.
