*The number four means nothing to me
But the number four means death to Chinese
Number seven is lucky in Japan
Here we don’t give a damn
But on the elevator, no thirteenth floor
On the elevator, no thirteenth floor
Thirteenth going up…going up…going up*
“Slow Numbers” by Morphine
OK, it’s not really relevant to anything. I just felt like quoting some Morphine lyrics. 
Mmmmm Morphine…
Oh, wait, your’re talking about some band… NM.
(666) is the telephone exchange for Louisville, CO, an upper-middle class community near Boulder. The city’s phone number is 666-6565.
I have lived close by for over half my life, and I have never heard a single case of a homeowner or business owner refusing their phone number for religious reasons. I’m sure it has happened, but it doesn’t make the news.
I’m so glad I live in a state of grownups.
P.S. Out of curiosity, I looked this up. Even the churches have the (666) prefix.

Yes, it was written in Greek, but it’s an apocalyptic text made by and for people who, if not Jewish themselves, were acquainted with Jewish mysticism, if not Hebrew itself. Greek was a language made by man, but Hebrew was made by God. Of course God would use Hebrew numerology to encode His secrets, and, of course, those who studied that numerology would also use Hebrew when they wanted to encode something.
Hebrew was the holy language that the heathen didn’t know. Of course you would use that to encode something. I mean, the text flat out says that you can use calculations to figure out what the number means*. It would not be good if they were using a Greek system that everyone would know.
*Revelation 13:18 (KJV):
“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
Why has no one mentioned Ronald Wilson Reagan?
We used to print some christian newspaper thing, a small run of 27000, it always seemed like we ended up with 3 skids of six rows (layers tall).
666.666.6.66 The IP address of the beast
Stands to reason that The Devil can have more than 256 values on a 16-bit number… 
How about: 6.66.6.66 - IP Address of the Beast? (an [old-fashioned] A-class domain, too! :D)
You’re thinking of 8 bit numbers. An unsigned 16 bit number can go up to 65536.
Gaudere’s Law* (remember it?) strikes again… :o
Oops! 65535. I should know that.
Actually, I meant me, criticizing a poster for using an IP-address element > 255 and getting the number of bits wrong.
And I didn’t even notice the 65535/36 thing until you mentioned it.
But yeah, you too!
You mean I embarrassed myself for no reason? :mad::eek: <Goes into a corner to suck my thumb>
There, there. Some of us noticed your screwup. No need to cry.
My aunt P. once got nervous because the balance in her checking account was $666.66.
My mom’s roommate in the hospital last year claimed that Monster Energy Drinks have the 666 on the can (those slash marks that sort of look like an M apparently correspond to the Hebrew characters for sixes, or something).
I just roll my eyes. What else can I do?
Well yeah. Sort of. Kind of looks like three “Vav”-s in a row, each of which does in fact correspond to the value 6.
Except the ancient Hebrews (and Greeks) had no concept of Decimal Places, so 3 sixes in a row would just be 18 anyway…
Otherwise, spot on 
Probably members here should avoid making the 666th post in any thread. Your user name would then be forever linked to the evil number. And while it is impossible to tell if one is the 666th person to view a thread, I recommend holding back when the number of views is approaching the devil’s number, and then waiting until some more cursed member of the board has made that dangerous viewing. Finally, it is highly encouraged not to post the 666th word in any thread, nor to make a single post where the word count reaches 666.
Carry on (safely!).
If any employee was going to be this much of a pain in the ass, why would I want them working for me anyway? Good riddance, I say.
Both my bank account and SS numbers have consecutive 666 in them. I’m Satan’s spawn. Fear me.
This is in my fridge right now. On a scale of 1 to 10, just how doomed am I?
Only 1/100th doomed. It’s only 6.66, so that would be 1.09 on a 1 to 10 scale if I did the math right.
