X is the arbitrary rating that was decided for explicit movies and sometimes triple X which was meant to attract attention by implying extremely hardcore porn. As to why that was chosen instead of something else *Shrugs*

Which is what caused the MPAA had to replace their X rating with an NC-17 rating, since the X wasn't trademarked and pornography just kept on labeling itself as X-rated.

It was originally associated with whiskey, every time they distill it, they put an X on the barrel, distill it 3 times and it's ready to sell.

Scoff.

Its the sum of 1 to 36 added up. As if that's NOT some kind of devil magic.

Both! Possibly even the Prince Philip people.

Prince Philip Movement

The Prince Philip Movement is a cargo cult of the Yaohnanen tribe on the southern island of Tanna in Vanuatu. The Yaohnanen believe that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the consort to Queen Elizabeth II, is a divine being, the pale-skinned son of a mountain spirit and brother of John Frum. According to ancient tales the son travelled over the seas to a distant land, married a powerful lady and would in time return. The villagers had observed the respect accorded to Queen Elizabeth II by colonial officials and came to the conclusion that her husband, Prince Philip, must be the son from their legends. When the cult formed is unclear, but it is likely that it was sometime in the 1950s or 1960s. Their beliefs were strengthened by the royal couple’s official visit to Vanuatu in 1974 when a few villagers had the opportunity to observe the prince from afar. Prince Philip was made aware of the religion and has exchanged gifts with its leaders and even visited them.

Because 777 is the lord's number and the devil is always one step behind (actual explanation I got in Sunday school when I was 9)

It's a numerology thing. Take the name "Nero Caesar", who was believed to be the Antichrist at the time, transliterate it into Hebrew, then take the numeric value of each Hebrew letter (a system similar to Roman numerals exists in Hebrew for this), and you get 666 if you used the Greek spelling, or 616 if you used the Latin spelling.
