667 Neighbour of the Beast

I heard that Ronald Reagan changed his street address from 666 to 667 (or maybe it was 668) for this reason. Of course, this sounds a lot like urban folklore but it seemed appropriate to mention.

And 667 would technically be the guy across the street from the beast as evens and odds are usually on opposite sides of the street.

Actually the oldest copies we have of Revelation give the number as 616, but no matter, I find this whole concept so absurd I cannot but make light of it. For instance:

666i, the BMW of the Beast
666 degrees, the correct temperature for roast Beast
80666, the Intel processor of the Beast
0.666, number of the Millibeast
$666, price of the Beast
$659.99, Wal-Mart price of the Beast

Anybody got some good ones?

667 Neighbour of the Beast

That's the number of the high precision Beast.

666 mg, recommended daily dose of the Beast

What a load of crap, this is the twenty first century and we still believe in numbers
like the thirteenth floor, the number 666. What about people who won't walk under
a ladder or won't step on a sidewalk crack. We talk about people in third world or
those who are superstitious and yet we see people tied to a number from 2000
years ago in a book, and we get all tied up in a knot over it.
The way I read it when it comes to religion Christ wanted people to use their head
and think about using wisdom. He didn't want people to accept blind faith he wanted
people to come to faith through reason. If one is afraid of a number or even the Devil,
then the God they believe in must not be that strong.

I'm with Karrie on this one, I feel badly for this guy. He isn't hurting anyone, he's not demanding anything without being very willing to give something up very significant up for it. And this repetitive happenstance of that particular number turning up seems to occur rather frequently for it to just be happenstance.

People live a long time. Any given person will be assigned a 3 digit number more than a thousand times in their life. Most people will not pay any attention to it. This guy pays attention to it and so it seems to happen to him frequently. Millions of 1 in 1000 chance events will happen to you in your life, but you will assign them no significance and so will not even notice them.

It is asking too much for HR to, after assigning the tax form numbers each year, check to see who got number 666 to make sure it wasn't this guy, their system might not even be set up to do such a thing. It is too much to ask that they train their new employees to do such a check. He can just bring it to their attention if it happens, and as they have shown, they will accommodate his neurosis.
