A number has absolutely no impact on one's life- how you live it is what counts. For many years I lived in TWO different apartments that had the number 13 on the door (No, I didn't choose them on purpose; the rents, room sizes and super locations were the deciding factors), and just to make a point, I also owned 2 wonderful male black cats. Guess what! The sky didn't fall on me, neither did the ceiling! And I had the GREATEST parties! There were no shortages for the guest lists, either. I guess living in L.A., and not LA (Louisiana) makes ALL the difference! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 6:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Louisiana Town Ditches 666 Area Code Over Religious Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</guid><description><![CDATA[THE CHINESE FIND THE NUMBER 666 AS A SIGN OF GOOD LUCK.

The prefix is the 3 numbers that come AFTER the area code.

It seems that people are bending over backwards to defend the rights of any religion that isn't Christian, but the symbols of Christianity are considered "superstitious nonsense". You can't have it both ways.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mari]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 7:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Louisiana Town Ditches 666 Area Code Over Religious Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</guid><description><![CDATA[When I was in college, my phone number ended in 666.

Say what you want but the bible did say that 666 is the mark of the beast in other words "Satan" . Looking at the current state of Lousiana they dont need anything even closely relating to satan. Those poor people need all the divine intervention they can get. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[WHOA!]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 7:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Louisiana Town Ditches 666 Area Code Over Religious Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</guid><description><![CDATA[Linda Blunt - any time you add even numbers to even numbers the result is - even!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[susan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 7:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Louisiana Town Ditches 666 Area Code Over Religious Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</guid><description><![CDATA[This article contradicts itself. Is it the area code or prefix? As far as I can tell, there is no 666 area code, and certainly wasn't one in 1960 when all area codes had either a 0 or a 1  as the middle number.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bil2lay]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 7:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Louisiana Town Ditches 666 Area Code Over Religious Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wish my number was (666) 666-6666.<br><br>That way I would never get a phone call from a superstitious person.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 7:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Louisiana Town Ditches 666 Area Code Over Religious Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</guid><description><![CDATA[This definately got my attendtion this morning. A year ago I called a business in La. to sell them some ink supplies. During our chit chat I mentioned I was surprised by the area code--she yelled into the phone, stating it's JUST an area code!! Mind you---I only mentioned it in passing, and didn't make a big deal of it. Her reaction was over the top, and she was in need of more than just toner for her printer. I have stayed away from that topic ever since:)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sonia Pasinski]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 7:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Louisiana Town Ditches 666 Area Code Over Religious Concerns]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/04/louisiana-town-ditching-666-area-code/</guid><description><![CDATA[  The number 666 is like the number 13.
