I’m surprised most makers didn’t just skip over that serial number just like most buildings don’t have a “13th floor” even when the number of floors exceeds 13....

Incidentally, the irrational fear of the number 666 is called hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia

Its not even 666 that was mistranslated it was 616 so go check your machine numbers again

Hexakosio......yeah, what he said

Many biblical scholars are of the belief that the actual number of the beast is 616, not 666, fyi. So, you have another number to check for if you want to buy that argument. Just saying'.

hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is my new favorite word!

It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

My buyer was kind enough to provide us a picture of his VE-XVIII serial number 666 ID plate for the record.
