Well, I was issued a license plate that read 666-THG. I accepted it, with some mixed feelings, but I found that my black car with the 666- “thug” plate was the envy of many of my friends, at least one of whom offered to buy the plate.

One of my friends actually got as his first license plate “evl-666” (or was it 666-evl? Can’t remember. Doesn’t matter.) He was a death metal fan so he was really geeked about it.

Just checked with the USPS zip code finder; 00666 returned invalid but 13666 returned P.O. boxes in NEWTON FALLS, NY.

Growing up, ages 1-18, my address was 666 Provinceton road. A couple of times people drew pentagrams and stuff in our driveway with chalk.

Anybody ever notice when you were growing up that DC Comics’ address was a 666 (can’t remember the road). Maybe they moved since the 80’s, maybe not. I still thought it was great.
