Ever heard that it could have actually been "616"? Not sure how much water that statement holds, but I hear it could have been an error in translation from ancient texts.Regardless of that, perhaps you're trying to place bad omens where they are not intended. Why are you not fond of the number "6" in general? I think it's a very nice number...One of my favorites. In fact, it brings me luck and I manage to catch it (along with 3) a lot in my day to day life. I catch 3:33 on clocks, order $3.33 in product, or generally find "33" everywhere throughout my day...My lady finds "22" in the same fashion. Perhaps those are just "our numbers" or something - vibrations that we respond to on some mental level, or an even higher consciousness.I have a friend who used to see black birds all the time...She became obsessed with believing that they were an omen of impending death or doom around her. After a few months of soaking in her own misery, she finally realized that - although her appreciation and understanding of abstract symbolism in life was very useful, perhaps she had very incorrectly interpreted the meaning of the birds. Almost a year later, she now feels happy when black birds appear around her and understands that such nonsensical "evil" or "omen" thoughts could be ill-conceived based on others' perceptions of an animal, color, or religious belief.In short, "It is whatever you want it to be."Cheers,Ryan<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndWow dude, that really is a well thought out response. Actually, I have no problem with the number 6 at all, it's just that I'm not used to seeing 666 all the time. I'm sure that it's probably just a random happening that I'm picking up on just because we're taught at a young age that those numbers are "bad" for lack of a better term. I don't really think that anything bad is going to happen, I just found it to be a little freaky considering how much I was seeing the number lately.And to whoever asks about the gas before...lol, it wasn't 666 gallons, it was 6.660 gallons.-Joseph
