I sometimes joke with customers if the sale is $6.66 and say something like "now, you're not superstious, are you?"

I prefer $5.55 myself. $5.55 seems so much aesthetically purtier than $6.66.

I had read somewhere that 666 was an incorrect reading of Revelations, and that the number of the beast is actually 999. Although the New Testament is rife with numerology I have yet to find any correlation with my own day-to-day. I think I will stick to numerismatism. :wink:

This is almost literally true.

Word 6 was the only program I've ever heard of for which they sold a downgrade. I am not kidding, if you bought Word 6, you could actually buy a downgrade to Word 5.1, which I still think is the best version they ever came out with.

Now, Windows 666 would be redundant.

I heard on the news that Hell, Michigan, is having a big celebration on June 6 and most of the t-shirts and other stuff will cost $6.66.

Let's see- I have to work tomorrow, and it's not payday, so I guess it MUST be evil!! :D

Wonder if this remake of the Omen will be any better than the first one with Gregory Peck? Probably better special effects. I'll wait for the video.

That is the date and time when German carneval session begins, so there are plenty of people that day looking at their clocks over here, too :-)
