    Except your theory goes out of the window with the phone. To get the "O" you would press the button 3 times so it would be 66666.

    Reminds me of the time Dungeons & Dragons came out and the 'bible-thumpers' protested in droves because the game had demons in it. Treat it like it is - a work of fiction made for entertainment - and get over yourselves. Stop trying to spoil other folks' fun all the time.

    RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend, my Shining Light. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.

    Surprised no one has thrown in that 444 is also considered an unlucky number (Chinese and I believe some other Asian cultures).

    Let's just make a list of bad numbers and see what we're left with...

    That's the young way of looking at it.

    In the Olden Days, that function didn't exist on phones.

    This is such a massive non-issue that I'm honestly befuddled.

    Looks like OP didn't get enough attention on his first post that he had to duplicate it. Pretty funny, considering their username.

    Probably not an intentional double-post, though, given the time-stamps on both opening posts.
    There is a bug in the forum software that very often causes a double post when starting a thread from a phone.

    So if we need to denote the number between 665 and 667, how do we do it?

    I know, we can throw superstition out the window.

    Yeah its kinda weird they use that number and maybe should change it to another one. 667 because of superstitions associated with it along with religious ones.

    Do you have any idea how many numbers have "special meanings" around the world? I cringe just thinking about the review process that would have to go into place for each number to make sure that it was not "666", "19", "13", "17", "4", "9", "39", "69", "420"... and those are just the easy to find ones.

    "Four" in general as I recall, because in many of those languages it has the same word as "death" I seem to remember, and is thus seen as "bad omen"... ('s why you never should give your asian friends presents in sets of four... thats kinda like subtly telling them "go die" or something I guess - at least that is what an asien gaming comrade once told me)

    Very much like "13" in european superstition, due to several reasons... there is the old "thirteenth man on the table was Judas Iscariot" and the Templar purge on friday the 13th, and of course the old numerilogical "12 is the best number because you can divide it so nicely into two, three and four equal parts... but the next, the thirteen... that one is evil as it just won't divide equally I tell ya!" that is also the reason why so many things were divided in twelve parts (clocks) or measured by the dozend...

    And that is how superstitions start, then they grow, until some hotels skip the "unlucky" 13th floor, just in case - or if in asia, the 4th AND the 13th...

    BtW, if you need more fun with "number of the beast" conspiracy theories...
    Here is a classic one:

    I stand corrected. I hadn't checked the original timestamps, my bad.
