Infernal lunch

[melaniesuzanne]

The cashier squeaked in surprise when lunch totalled $6.66. I've always known that Thursdays are bad to the bone.

Heh

Whenever a cashier asks for my zip code, I say in a flat voice "666...66"

I might have occasionally been known to intentionally change what I was buying off the Wendy's dollar menu such that the total came to $6.66*. Just being randomly perverse, that and I like doing the tax in my head to be sure it'll work out right. Though I must admit I never actually got a squeak; a couple laughs and surprised looks. Maybe next time I do it I should go get some of those satyr-esque horns, might help get a squeak ;P

*I think it was Wendy's, at one of the fast food places I had it mapped such that if I got x items of y price and x items of z price, then I'd end up at $6.66. It's been a year since I've been to a fast food restaurant in the states, so kind of fuzzy which one it was now... ::shrug::

In the rural county where I grew up, there's a local road with the number 666. There's a church on it. :-)

There used to be a spur off of Route 66 numbered US 666 (being the sixth spur route). Sadly, it has been renumbered after some locals got their knickers in a twist about it. Idiots. Now it's US 491.

I read somewhere (or saw on tv somewhere , most likely the History Channel) that the mile markers on some states skip the 66.6 marking since the signs get stolen almost as fast as they get replaced. I don't know if there is a highway out there with a 666 mile marker -- maybe one of the western states that are larger?

I-10 in Texas, for sure. It has mile markers at the eastern end that start with an 8 followed by two digits. The first exit just across the Sabine River from Louisiana is the welcome center, exit 890.

I-20 appears to miss by less than 25 miles. There might be some US routes in Texas that make that grade as well.

We are not worthy! See? One more sign that you were meant to be chaotic evil!

The last 3 digits of Siegfried's cel is 666 -- it was how I originally got myself to remember it. :)

I was doing an upload today and record # 666 failed. When I researched what data it referenced, it turns out it was my own vacation balance.

Aigh! Vacation of the damned!
