Beauty and the Beast

Identify this weird art please. Painting of a woman being mounted by a dog (or horse)? I found this reproduction at an antique store today. It shows a woman on the ground in a forest being mounted by a large black animal, I can't tell if it's a dog or a horse. She's holding what appears to be a mirror in one hand. Does anyone know the artist and/or title of this painting?

It's just a painting, but given the subject matter and the boobs, I guess some would consider this NSFW. Here's a link:

Does Beast have healing capability?

Does Beast from the X-men have the ability to heal himself? The official Marvel handbook doesn't mention it, the (unofficial) wikipedia entry does. If he does have the ability, in what comic does he use or mention it?

My refrigerator is the plague beast.

There is an extra refrigerator in my apartment left over from the previous tenants. They neglected to clean it out; it has been unplugged for months. I opened it once and the stench - which rapidly spread throughout the apartment and lingered for several hours - was overpowering. I want to be able to use it: how should I go about cleaning it?

The Number of the Beast

Why was (is) 666 the number of the beast? Revelation says that the number of the beast is six hundred threescore and six; I know the verse, but I'm curious as to why that's the number and not, say, 555, 637, or 8. I tried googling some, but all I could find was a bunch of wacky conspiracy sites and 'number of the beast decoders.' I did learn that Bill Clinton has the number of the beast, though.
