US town escapes 666 phone prefix

A town in the US state of Louisiana is to be allowed to change its telephone prefix so that residents can avoid a number many associate with the Devil.
Christians in Reeves have been unhappy since the early 1960s about being given the prefix, 666 - traditionally known as the Biblical "number of the beast".
For the next three months, households will be able to change the first three digits of their phone numbers to 749.
Mayor Scott Walker said CenturyTel's decision was "divine intervention".
However, he admitted it helped that Louisiana's two senators had also lobbied for the change with the phone company and the state Public Service Commission.
"It's been a black eye for our town, a stigma," he said.
"I don't think it's anything bad on us, just an image," he added. "We're good Christian people."
Mayor Walker said he had already made the switch to using the 749 prefix and expected about 80% of the town's 450 homeowners to do the same.

'Number of the beast'

The reference to 666 is taken from translations of the Biblical book of Revelation, which talks about the events leading to the end of the world.
Revelation 13:18 states: "If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."
Although in recent years scholars at Oxford University said that they had discovered a 3rd Century papyrus, from Oxyrhynchus, which gives the Number of the Beast as 616.
And a manuscript fragment from the 11th Century lists the number as 665.
The traditional number, 666, has fascinated and puzzled Christians for centuries and led to a great deal of speculation about its meaning.
Many scholars believe it is a reference to the Roman emperor at the time Revelation was written - either Nero or Domitian. Both men put Christians to death.
Using the Jewish system of Gematria, in which each letter is given a number, either name can be made to add up to 666.
The fear of the number 666 is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

Stupid christians...

It's way funnier on the tv news where they've been labeled "The Bread Roll Bandits"

'Fools' jailed over failed robbery

TWO thieves have been jailed over a bungled April Fool's Day Melbourne restaurant robbery in which one of them shot his female accomplice in the buttocks.

Donna Hayes 36, of Belgrave, was shot by her former de facto husband Benjamin Jorgensen, 38, of Brooklyn during a botched armed robbery on April 1 last year.

Victorian County Court Judge Roland Williams today labelled them a ``pair of fools'' over the robbery of the Cuckoo Restaurant in Olinda in Melbourne's outer east.

Judge Williams jailed Jorgensen for seven years with a minimum four-and-a-half years.

Hayes was jailed for eight years with a non-parole period of five-and-a-half years.

The pair had figured on a $30,000 takings haul but netted nothing but a bag of bread rolls, the court was told.

Fucking Adelaide Wankers

'Police, help. Someone's stealing my drugs'

By Michael Milnes

A MAN faces drugs charges after calling police to report his cannabis plants were being stolen.
The 35-year-old Adelaide man told police that up to six men smashed the front window on his house and gained entry about 3.30am.

Police spokesman Senior Constable Mick Abbott said the men started ‘’stealing portions of the plants growing inside the house’’.

‘’He called police to the scene but they were unable to find the men involved. Police then returned with a drug warrant and found six cannabis plants growing hydroponically in two rooms of the house,’’ Sen Constable Abbott said.

The house owner was charged with cultivating cannabis plants for sale.
