We return you to the daze of volume 10, issue 555, where Dave Levenson typed: | I changed my mind about 800 service from MCI. Our best-selling | software product is the MoneyRoom(tm). They were offering us the | number 1-800-MONEYRM, but unfortunately, that's 800-666-3976, and you | never know what sort of nut will run up our 800 bill over that prefix! You had no worries there. Just advertise the number as 1-800-MONEYRM and the fundie fanatics won't ever realize that it translates to something beginning with three sixes. After all, you think more than a couple of the extreme nutcases who would call you satanic for having that number actually would order computer software? Later in that issue, il Moderatore commented to Donald Kimberlin thus: | [Moderator's Note: If he wanted to get 800 service, I guess MCI would | be out of the question. After all, 800-666-POPE would be a dead | giveaway! :) PT] One could always ask MCI for a number on a different prefix. When I first heard about "beasting" people (using the lengths of the words in Reagan's name was really a cheap substitute, as was the forcible introduction of a factor of six when it was done to Henry Kissinger and Ken Johnson), it took me a few minutes to get 666 from Jesus's name. So I guess that at the tender age of nineteen I managed to disprove Christianity and expose it as Satanism, right? For the record, I was naked at the time I did it, because I was taking a shower. Yup, didn't even need pencil or paper.
