Do you know the story about how, when American Baptists built their then-new 
headquarters in Pennsylvania, they were assigned a Norristown or King of 
Prussia phone exchange, 666?  They were so concerned about the public 
relations aspects of that, so the story goes, that they successfully 
petitioned for a Valley Forge phone exchange!

May be legend, but I like it!
