They have a special offer on Iron Maiden CDs in Japan at the moment, I've bought a ton of them in the last two weeks. Saw this thread while watching Rock In Rio!

As a cook I prefer 250 followed by 500 (degrees), the numbers of the roast beast!

$6.66 - The price of the beast
$5.59 - The price of the beast at Wal-Mart
6.667 - The rounding error of the beast

There's a Route 666 here in Northern Virginia. You can see the sign for it on a bridge crossing over the top of the Dulles Toll Road on the way to Dulles Airport!

I had another fun run in with 666 when I was in high school. I had gone into a Christian bookstore to purchase something (I've always been a bit weird about reading theology books) and when the older lady at the register rang up my purchase from the bargain bin the total came to $6.66. Well, she wasn't to happy with this and suggested that I buy something else. I decided that this was God's way of telling me to buy a book of the main shelf that I had forsaken because of the added cost. I went and got the book and she rerang my order. What was the new total? $13.13! She was not very happy with me so I just added a bookmark to the order and went on my way.

There used to be a Route 666 in Eastern Arizona. The locals - many of whom are known for their church-going - didn't like it much, and had the highway renamed a few years ago.

A rather twisting, winding, mountainous stretch was known throughout AZ as 'The Road to Hell.'

And I'll just bet that it was paved with good intentions, too!
