Makes it so easy to remember! I like the opening of Wikipedia's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/666_(number)" rel="nofollow">entry on 666</a>:<blockquote>666 is the natural number following 665 and preceding 667</blockquote> Well, yup, that kind of puts it in perspective. It's a number. How can people with <em>any</em> claim to rationality be afraid of <em>a number</em>?? Seattle Atheists next board meeting will be on 6/6 at 6pm. Makes it so easy to remember!

When I was setting up service it was the first number that came up. The AT&T guy who was helping me said, "Oh, you're not going to want <i>this</i> one." I asked what he meant, and he recited the number. I told him I was fine with it. After all, it only left me with 4 other numbers to have to memorize. I also enjoy the shocked looks I get from people who ask for my number. My phone number starts with 666 as well. When I was setting up service it was the first number that came up.
