I’ve got 666 right smack-dab in the middle of my social security number. I’m really quite nice. I just have a beasty-like center. ---

Yeah, the story sucked.) ``` Ooh! I also had a day when my bill came to $6.66. The cashier looked at me and said "Oh my God!"just give me $6.65. I gave him $6.67. :eek: ``` ---

I have created a beast of a thread, it will not die… But this gives me a chance to pounce on more 666 nonsence: [http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/03/01/offbeat.passion.ap/](http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/South/03/01/offbeat.passion.ap/) > [@](#): > > Passion tickets bear ‘mark of the beast’ > > 3/11/04 ROME, Georgia (AP) – Tickets at one movie theater screening Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” are being deemed decidedly unholy. > > The number 666, which many Christians recognize as the “mark of the beast,” is appearing on movie tickets for Gibson’s film at a Georgia theater, drawing complaints from some moviegoers. > > The machine that prints tickets assigned the number 666 as a prefix on all the tickets for the film, said Gary Smith, owner of the Movies at Berry Square in northwest Georgia. The 666 begins a series of numbers that are listed below the name of the movie, the date, time and price. > > “It’s from our computer and it’s absolutely a coincidence,” Smith said. “It has nothing to do with the film company or any vendor. It’s completely in our computer.” You see?!?! It was the Romans who killed Christ! 😛 ---

> [@soulmurk](#): > > A large cup of coffee and a pack of brand name cigarettes at the local 711 used to cost me $6.66, and it spooked out the woman behind the counter every single time. It works out that way every time I go to Fazoli’s. A Baked Spaghetti with Meatballs is $4.99, plus a $1.29 drink, plus 6% sales tax.
