<<< Btw, (truth): There is a new local telephone prefix that US West has been giving to new #s in a certain area near here....it's 666. I know some people that have refused to accept it, and demanded something else. In one case, the US West rep said she didn't blame them one bit, that she wouldn't want a 666 # either. She gave them a different prefix. >>>

Dwight,

Funny thing is, not many residential numbers in Canada use 666 as their phone numbers. But I know for a fact that MANY Canadian Gov't phone numbers start with 666. (no joke!) I was calling Revenue Canada (US equivalent of IRS), and I had to dial 666, geez....how ironic....
