Were we all sleeping - we can't all have been! - when, about 100 messages back, the counter registered that we had posted 666,666 messages?
We have threads on this fascinating subject which I can't find. Tried various combinations of 666, Devil's Number, Number of the Beast, etc.
I thought I had posted this years ago. Probably I did, though not in this thread. ...
Macabre Place NamesI do remember a slight shudder when I glanced down at the dashboard while at a junction on that very road and observed that the last three digits on the milometer were also 666.
He’s averaging just over 12mph, fairly close to my average speed riding in town with stops at traffic lights etc. I don’t do as many miles as him though. I’ve done around 7000 miles in about 2 years. Am similarly something of an old fart.Techy was looking at his Strava stats for the year so far. He has achieved all his goals and hopes to go on to greater things next year.
So it's distance, number of rides, elevation, number of hours...

He keeps looking at other cyclists' stats and fretting about not being as good. I tell him It's about YOU, not them. Your fitness is fantastic now compared to how it used to be, and that's what matters.He’s averaging just over 12mph, fairly close to my average speed riding in town with stops at traffic lights etc. I don’t do as many miles as him though.

Naw, that's false.This 'monster' drink which is popular has lettering on it which is actually the number 666 in Hebrew.
No, and sorry to sound rude, it's not false. The number 6 in Hebrew. A customer of mine who can read and speak Hebrew told me that. He's a Rabbi. So what do you think the symbol means? Did the company just think up a random symbol that just happens to bear a resemblance to the number 666 by chance? Why did they then make up that symbol that bears a close resemblance to the Hebrew number 666?
Vav.No, and sorry to sound rude, it's not false. The number 6 in Hebrew. A customer of mine who can read and speak Hebrew told me that. He's a Rabbi. So what do you think the symbol means?

I'm not saying there's anything satanic about it. I'm simply saying......
No offence intended.

I'm sorry to say I don't know what 'Vav' means. Could you enlighten me. I'm old school. Thanks.Vav.
Ah, just agreeing. Vav is the 6th letter of the Hebrew alphabet.I'm sorry to say I don't know what 'Vav' means. Could you enlighten me. I'm old school. Thanks.
Edit: I'm not sure what went wrong with the quote thing. I thought I was just quoting 'Vav'.
Could also be interpreted as the three nails from the crucifixion!
That's always how I saw it.It's not really a random symbol though, is it? It's a large M made to look like it has been ripped by claws. Such as those of a monster.
Product placement, advertising, the brand and so on. There nothing silly or accidental about how a multi billion dollar business runs.This one seems extra silly to me. Right up there with Paul Is Dead or evangelicals freaking out at the old Proctor & Gamble logo.
So Pepsi doesn't mean Pepsi? Numbers and letters are what they are, numbers and letters. They all have a meaning. Whether 666 has any particular significance, I don't know but to suggest the company didn't know that the logo was 666 in Hebrew beggars belief.Maybe the person whose job it was to predict crackpot misinterpretations of ancient Hebrew numbers was on vacation.
Seriously, that does not mean 666 in Hebrew any more than IVI means 151 in Roman numerals. But believe whatever you like.
