I just wanted to point out this imo interesting fact, from which we (the users) might learn somethig about the people in charge of this forum (the admins).
-we all know that 666 is usually refered as the number of the beast, as well as 665 and 667 are the neighbours of the beast -the fact that this particular member number does not ecist leads me to the conclusion, that the admins dont want it to exist because of religious related reasons -or they dont want a member number 666 trolling the forums with "i am the devil" and such.... -either way i think it as rather strange (nearly as strange as that many bowling centers dont have a lane 13 and that many skyscrapers dont have a floor 13)
it would be interesting to hear why this member does not exist from someone, who was part of the forum since the beginning.

666...who cares, honestly? Satanic numbers my arse, its all a load of superstitious nonsense.
All depends if you're superstitious with the ol' good luck/bad luck thing. The number 13 isn't really unlucky, its just a number. I don't believe in any of this crap, so I don't think it should be removed from anything. . . . . . Now I think about it, I have accquired the belief that it brings me good luck to wear odd socks, so I do that most days.

AlienCow, a full post about how you aren't superstitious, then at the end you give an example of the fact that you are superstitious. Quite an interesting post.
