Are you afraid of the number 666? If you were issued an automobile license plate or a telephone number that included a string of three sixes would you ask for a different number? Do you think the number 666 is inherently evil? Do you believe any number can in and of itself be evil?

I have it!

I once got an American Express card with 666 in the number and called them for a new card with a new number and they said basically tough luck. I just couldn't live with it, so about a week later I called them and said I would cancel my account unless they gave me a new number and they did.

I know what you mean, DJohn,

At one time my extension number at work was "666" and i made them give me another number.

The number 666 never bothered me, and I think it is fun when I find it. However, I worked with a woman that had 666 in her personal ID number for work. She was very religious and worked very hard to try to have personnel change her number. They refused - it bothered her so much she actually quit and moved to a small town.

I forgot to mention my mom has it too.

She once got a job at a firm at the 666 5th Ave. building. She quit about two weeks into it, she couldn't bear having that as an address.

At this very moment my messagecenter says:
"You have 666 total U2U's."

And it´s true...

I am afraid of any hotel room that has 666 on it. No way i am goin in there!

Other things I am not afraid of. Just like whole houses or rooms.

Ha thank you now it has a name to it.. my cell number which was given to me by my cell company is 041666****

soon as I say it to people I cringe waiting for the comments and I always get them oooh the devils number eh, or (insert strange look here) can you repeat that for me.....

and my thread in rants with my lump of meat that cost 6.66 it follows me around :bnghd: but ahh now no, I can tell people what I've got other than the devils number

well when I work out how to say it let alone spell it...

Hey, Mayet, we've got a similar phone number

Mine's got 666 in it, too.

Doesn't bother me, though. It's just a number.

Ya, that could work too

I wonder if that's why I get a lot of answering machines when calling from that number. People see it and don't want to pick it up.

Back before my life went to H E double toothpicks- the miltary assigned me to a HUGE Field grade officers house. It was gorgeous, had 4 bedrooms, all hard wood floors, yada, yada,yada and the address was 666 Korena- but i didn't have to pay rent so we were quite happy to live there . . . . at least at first.

The first time we did laundry the laundry room wall blew out into the garage via the washer drain pipe- how does THAT happen since the drain pipe is vented to atmospheric pressure?

The wife would take a shower and the shower would come on full bore then taper off right to nothing right when she had soap in her face- happened repeatedly. When i would check it out i could find nothing wrong.

My wife took to showering in one of the other bathrooms and then the shower nozzel came off and popped her in the head hard enough to knock her on her rear.

We were a realatively newly married couple (
