You know....

It is interesting that they used the number 666. In many cases, organizations and professionals avoid numbers that have a psychological impact.

For example, my company is the General Service Contractor for the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress. If you walk the 600 aisle on the event, you will probably never even notice that there is no booth 666. We just skip it to avoid someone getting stuck with that number. The client never requested it, we just did it.

If you look on an elevator in many buildings, thre is often no floor 13. Same idea. Why make people uncomfortable?

I think it is interesting that they didn't just make this one 667.
