11. I once had a customer who panicked

when her total came to exactly $666.00. I mean absolutely panicked. She insisted I charge her an extra dollar.

And apparently, the number is not the number of the beast after all!

13. Depending on the Bible translation, it could be 616.

According to Biblical scholars, that is.

I listen to the Bible Geek podcast, usually a fairly good source for such things. (Like him, I am an atheist; unlike him, I do not have two PhD's in such things.)

17. Ronald (6) Wilson (6) Reagan (6) retired to 666 St. Cloud Rd. Bel Air CA

of all the addresses in LA/Pacific Palisades/BelAir/Beverly Hills he chose that one.

Nancy was freaked out so she went to the city to change it to 668. Or maybe she sent her astrologer. In any case, LA changed it.

You can see the front on Google Earth.*(edit: you can see the driveway) And it sounds unbelievable but a quick search will prove this correct.

20. See I was right - raygun was the anti Christ

HA! I've been saying that since 1981, when I saw Late Great Planet Earth (Hal Lindsey is such a douche bag) and The Man Who Saw Tomorrow on HBO one week. It was that week it came to me while watching the wicked one talk on the tv. It's 666 Raygun! His the anti Christ! I knew the end times were coming! Became a prepper before prepping was all the rage. I bought a knife, buried some food in the back yard and bought some batteries. Then that phase ended the next week when I started playing guitar.
