'''46664''' was the [[prison]]er number of [[Nelson Mandela]] from his imprisonment in [[1964]] to his release in [[1990]].  Mandela is sometimes referred to, reverently, as prisoner 46664; the [[Nelson Mandela Foundation]] uses the website [http://46664.tiscali.com 46664.com].  The number was assigned because Mandela was the 466th prisoner to come to [[Robben Island]] in 1964.

Considerable effort is made to split the [[Number of the Beast|three sixes]] - as ''four, double six, six-four''.
