Do You Find It Entertaining to See 666 come Up?

I made this thread because there were 666 in this section, so I couldn't let that happen. Anyway, there are many reasons this number can be entertaining. The reactions people have are reasons I'm entertained by it. At work, if a sale rings up 6.66, I can generally get more added to the sale by pointing it out. Or if a customer notices, they might immediately grab something else to add. Anyone else find this number fun for any reason?

It's a just a number to me, besides popping out in the Bible, which is why people find that number strange, fun, weird, etc, whenever they see it. I remember when I reached 666 posts here, haha, that was something, but I didn't find that weird or fun. Then there came 1666, 2666, etc. Just a number, and the one in the bible is symbolic.

I think its amusing and I like pointing it out. Do I think it has any real signifigance? No, not at all.

I found it entertaining to see this thread title. I chortled, which is an unflattering way of loling.

Nah, 666 isn't entertaining. It's just Illuminatti or whatever.

I treat any sequence of numbers like that as notable when they pop up, like if the total cost of a few products equaled $11.11 or something. In the case of triple sixes, I recall a few years ago for a school athletics event when I managed 6.66 metres in Shot Put, and the teacher marking down the numbers cracked a joke.

Even though I am a religious person, I really don't see the point to be scared of a number. While it is stated in the Bible that the number 666 is the Mark of the Beast, I always saw that as a way of symbolism as not everything in the Bible should be taken literally. That said, whenever I see the number 666 popping out of nowhere I take it as a joke and laugh about it, similar to how Krash's teacher took it when his instructor noticed the numerical sequence of 666 and chuckled about it. Whenever I see that number pop up I tend to say that something to the lines that there is "unholy power among us". It is always humorous whenever that number appears out of nowhere and I can just laugh about because there really isn't nothing to be afraid about a number.
