CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -- A man said that he quit his job last week in order to save his soul.
Walter Slonopas, 52, resigned as a maintenance worker at Contech Casting LLC in Clarksville after his W-2 tax form was stamped with the number 666.
The Bible calls 666 the "number of the beast," and it's often used as a symbol of the devil. Slonopas said that after getting the W-2, he could either go to work or go to hell.
"If you accept that number, you sell your soul to the devil," he said.

I don't know, if he truely believes that 666 is an evil number and it keeps coming up in his life, shouldn't that be a hint that the Universe if trying to tell him something?

It makes my head hurt.

Same thing with 800 numbers and 888 being commission as another toll free dialing code.
