Huh? Should we drape garlic cloves over our monitor screens? :-)

With all due respect- we eat apples, children learn about snakes in school- even
touch them, and 666 is also just a number that comes after 665 (and before 667).
It's also a telephone exchange prefix in Norristown, Pa. (610-666-123*)
Yes I know that 666 is ALSO the mark of the beast. But to say that the use of the
number 6 in binary/HTML code is paying homage to satan, is perhaps a wee bit
radical?
Don't: step on a crack, break a mirror, walk under a ladder, cross paths with
black cats, put shoes on your bed..........
Where does it end?
Drink the Kool-Aide? Wait for the comet? Destroy the Tele-tubbies?

Michael, I'm not flaming you- but I am questioning the difference between
christian wisdom and superstitious paranoia.
Is this what you believe, or just a casual 'far stretch' observation?

No offense intended. Perhaps I'm way out of line on this one.
In HIS work-

PS- I'm a bit sensitive to this sort of debate, we named our newborn son 'Damian'
simply because it was my beloved grandfathers name.
Our Pastor, and several church members had a serious problem with the name. How
absurd! (Had my grandpa's name been 'Lucifer- prince of darkness', I'm sure my
wife and I would have probably opted for 'Chuck' or 'Bob' rather than Damian.)
