Bob, I'm not superstitious, but I am an Iron Maiden fan.... My next guitar will certainly be a Rickenbacker 660/6.... Congratulations on the post number, I always enjoy your posts, usually learn something from you, and quite frequently agree wholeheartedly with you. Or sometimes not, which is cool too. Congrats!

Don't let it bother you Bob!

Religion = superstition

Here's to the the next 6666....

When I got my license plate, the lady at the DMV counter said, "You don't have to take this number if you don't want it." I can give you the next one." It started with 666. I said, "Cool!" It's on my car, and I'm a 57-year-old overweight, gray-haired, ex-Catholic. Nobody's going to "type" me with some number.

If you are interested in the Biblical significance of numbers in the Bible E.W. Bullinger has written a good book on that subject ...

6 stands for imperfection and 3 stands for completeness so 666 = complete imperfection ...

also 13 stands for rebellion ...

but that pertains to numbers in the Bible ... not numbers in computers and license plates ...

Oh, and I should have thought of this before I married her, but my ex-wife's birthday is 6/6/66. I checked her skull several times, no markings.

It wouldn't mean anything if we used the sexigesimal system.

My ID number (the equivalent of a Social Security Number) includes a 666. My wife's first name, converted to numbers by "Gimatria" - the ancient Hebrew numbering system - is 666.

Hahaha Rob - I saw a t-shirt at a Maiden show that read:

666 - The Number of the Beast
664 - The bloke next door!

If six was nine,
I don't mind...
If the sky falls to the sea,
Let it be...
