For those of you who are: it's all just a myth. The numbers 666 meaning the Devil popped up around the time of the Roman Empire. A Roman emperor named Nero hated the Catholics at that time, so he started the Great Fire of Rome (destroying around 1/4 of the city) and successfully blamed it on the Catholics. For this reason, he then went on to persecute thousands (or more) of Catholics. In Greek, his name is written in characters that look similar to three sixes (666). For this reason, "666" is associated with the one who hates Catholics, the persecutor of Christianity, the Devil (even though it is actually Nero). So see? You have nothing to fear. 06-06-06 is just superstition.
