yeah its the number of the beast!

No it isn't, it was used as the number of the beast but it has been established that was an incorrect translation the actual number is 612. Proving the ridiculous claims of the number's power were always stupid.

7 isn't lucky either

Just realised that a flight I had booked a while ago has the dreaded 666 flight number. Due to fly out from Dublin to Birmingham on Saturday week. Its a Ryanair flight!!

Any advice from boardsies on this? Should i bring holy water or something?!

Don't worry - I was on that flight a couple of months ago and the emergency landing, after the engine fell off, only killed twenty of us.

that sounds like something they shouldnt do. Most skyscrapers wont have a 13th floor either: just goes 10 11 12 then 14.

That is not true either. Any time I am in a building with 13 or more floors I always check and not once have I seen a missing 13th floor. It is as idiotic as the notion 13 is bad luck

i saw on Nat Geo once that in china the number 8 is very unlucky so they dont have an 8th floor on most buildings over there

dem chinese is crazy!

Apparently its 665 or something like that thats the number of the devil, not 666.

Ryanair flight 666 will not fly you to hell, but a destination 50 miles away (Kilbeggan).

I was in a hotel that went from floor 12 to 14. Also a lot of planes dont have a row 13.

i dont think you have anything to be scared about as long they put on a good movie to relax you say final destination, or red eye or Flightplan or passenger 57 or United 93

I'd be scared because chances are your definitely going to die if you get on that death bird.Its destiny for the plane "666" to become the horrific plane crash tragedy 2009, soon after the conspiracies will start about the "666".

Your in a really bad situation now because if you don't get on the plane, you have then cheated death and death will come looking for you until finally you get hit by a lorry or something :eek:

It's actually 616. Many experts have debated it over the years. But they've come to the conclusion that 666 was misinterpeted, and is actually 616.

So yes OP. You're going to be fine........ Unless of course you're plane get's bombed by a hijacker with a bomb up his arse

Not idiotic at all - I've been in hotels (generally older ones) that had no 13th floor. http://realtytimes.com/rtpages/20020913_13thfloor.htm. But heck, in Ireland I'm trying to think if I've even been in any buildings that had ten floors, let alone thirteen.

On a similar note, in Korea, lots of buildings have no 4th floor. My apartment building didn't have it, nearly all of the hotels I stayed in didn't, the public buildings or office blocks I was indidn't either. Plus the kids I taught never wanted to be 4th in line for a test - "4 is die number teachaa!" Their word for four sounds the same as the word for death apparently. I've been told by friends in other Asian countries that in some apartment blocks they take it to real extremes - no apartment 4, 14, 24 etc - instead it either doesn't exist, or is called 3a, 13a, and so on.
