Demonstrates closures. Closure is nested function. Idea is to make inner function with vars accessible once outer function has returned.
function say667() {
// Local variable that ends up within closure
var num = 666;
var sayAlert = function() { alert(num); }
num++;
return sayAlert;
}
var sayNumber = say667();
sayNumber(); // alerts 667
