    I'm trying to get [66-666]. That should be a lucky number....

    BTW, my office number is 8100 8888. :)

    I dunno; I groan inwardly whenever I see a '666' number plate. But if it floats your boat, hope you can get it at the best price you can!

    Yeah, my plan was to get a new plate made with 66666, dropping the hyphen. (you can get away with modifying historic plates in SA). The 66-666 plate is unallocated and available from Motor Reg - so it should be cheap.

    Mind you, 666 means more than the mark of the Beast....

    Well, as long as your interest is based on the fact that the sum of the squares of the first 7 primes is 666:

    666 = 2² + 3² + 5² + 7² + 11² + 13² + 17²

    then it's all good as far as I'm concerned! :D

    Mind you, 666 would be fitting for a Diablo IMO.

    Ash, Goober and I often swap prime number curiousities like this one. It makes a change from our usual quantum physics banter. )

    666 is a great number , it helped get rid of a gf who was a born-again and she refused point blank to hop in a car with 666 on the numberplate :D

    Motor Reg have just knocked me back on the 66-666 anyway saying the number is unavailable due to "pending legal action" - whatever that means. Back to the drawing board.

    that's 'across the street from the beast'

    664 and 668 are 'shares a fence and lovely perennial rose bush with the beast'
