Did Reagan move in 1979 or 1989? Other sources list the latter, which sounds more plausible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.137.42.212 ( talk) 17:33, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Ibrahim refers ko being hexachronographic means attractive and very awesome. although the reference might not be justified by the vague and ambiguous quotations given above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Braeem ( talk • contribs) 12:53, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
If there was something like a "phobia", then maybe there could be a "philia" version of the number, too. Of course, this might only refer to Satanists but it IS possible nonetheless. 1stLtLombardi 14:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me that this page should be merged into the page for Number of the Beast (numerology), where most of the same information is covered better. Rcharman -- 10/19/2005 9:48 PM EDT
How the hell do you say that?
This is probably the strangest article on Wikipedia...
Please will someone put on the page for this article how it should be pronounced?
Ok, now say that 6 times fast.-- 24.248.60.130 22:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I would really like an IPA pronunciation key too. For now, here's a closer one.
Assuming that foh is the emphasized syllable (?).

How about more simply 'trihexaphobia'?
Obviously, not all fears are irrational (unreasoning?).
Ignoring all other clamor, the simple, common (if not pervasive) stigma or controversy attached to '666', '13', and many other essentially meaningless symbols justifies an aversion in many public venues.

"Note that in base 12, two-thirds is 0.8, and 0.666 is the fraction 6/11."
Duly Noted, good sir.
Well now, that's just plain silly.
I think maybe its more fear of math class ;)

from this article:
Some other Christian thinkers believe that number does indeed refer to something in the end times, but as the exact meaning is unclear, any "phobia" is illogical.
from phobia:
A phobia (from the Greek φόβος "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.
from http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/illogical:
illogical
1. Contrary to logic; lacking sense or sound reasoning.
If a phobia is unreasonable, which by definition is illogical, then isn't a phobia illogical by definition? If the meaning of the vague apocalyptic idea behind the phobia was clear, would the phobia be logical? This redundancy should be removed or significantly modified.

I'm not sure about the factual accuracy of the claim that:

I would add that even Adam Carolla, a known aetheist, delayed the birth of his twins so that they were not born on 6/6/06 to avoid any future affiliation with the number; but I'm not sure if I can quote his radio show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.233.45.31 ( talk) 22:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Hasn't recent research turned up compelling evidence that the number of the beast is actually 616 anyway? That would be worth a mention here. Transentient
A link to The Number of The Beast would cover such details.
The mentioned Ronald (6 letters) Wilson (6 letters) Reagan (6 letters) - 666. (Duh.) Arakrys 14 okt 2006
Fear and Phobia are not necessarily the same thing. This article describes a the phobia that represents a fear of 666. Someone with a general fear of the number 666 would probably still be able to read this article. Someone with a phobia of 666 would probably be unable to read this article.
I presume that the legitimacy of this phobia, as an actual disorder, is irrelevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgreat ( talk • contribs) 16:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
this article basically states that fear of 666 is rare. it is not a rare fear at all.
but it isn't the same as a phobia. If you had a phobia you couldn't even read the articale as it would scare you too much.

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia = 29 Antidisestablishmentarianism = 28
Who else reckons this counts as the longest word in the English language?
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobians = 31, Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobically = 33, and no doubt one could construct even longer words, with or without this root. "Longest word in the English language" is as silly as "largest integer", but you may look for "longest word in a printed English dictionary or encyclopedia published by a regular publishing house", say. "Longest word in en.wikipedia" would be problematic, though.-- Niels Ø 09:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
I believe that the term hexa---phobian doesn't exist, it's simply hexa---phobe. But I still see your point. Antidisestablishmentarianism is NOT the longest word in the English language, it is just currently the longest word in the Oxford English dictionary. I haven't the slightest for what the longest word actually is.

According to Wikipedia itself, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis IS the longest word invented to this day. This word contains 45 letters and it is a disease caused by volcanoe dust. Look it up in the Wikipedia search engine, you'll see. 67.187.159.163 04:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosism? 116.15.78.204 05:26, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is just a coined word because there's simply a 7-letter word that means the exact same thing. Supercalifragilisticexpalidocious is just a coined word specifically made to be a long word. Floccinaucinihilipilification is also coined, and the word Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu is the Māori name of a hill. So yes, I believe that hexakosioihexekontahexaphobically is the longest word in English after pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. Oiuyjhgfv ( talk) 11:15, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

This bugs me. It was used in the advertising of a recent movie starring Jim Carrey (I forget the name of the film), and every time I saw it I wanted to say, "You fools! It's closer to .667!" Dyfsunctional 20:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
The movie is called The Number 23. The protagonist believes that everything is somehow linked to this number... Alot of Illuminati stuff I think, though I haven't seen the movie. The date of the BRD's foundation (May 23) seems to be based on Satan as well, you know, 5 like "penta"-gramme, 2+3 = 5 , 2:3 = Highway To Hell ... Uhhh... That's all superstition... Mankind is so retarded... If only stupidity hurt... 1stLtLombardi 14:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
The christians believe that the number 333 is gods nomber. The point I wan't to raise is that 333 multiplied by 2 equals 666. —Preceding

It can also be 777 as 7 is the number of perfection (hence three 7's being a winning line on a slot machine) and the 3 of them represent the holy trinity. Three 6's represent the unholy trinity (Satan, the Antichrist and the false prophet). And saying you can get to 666 from 333 by multiplying it is retarded, you can get to 666 from any number by multiplying or dividing, and your question is redundant anyway as 333 (admittedly 3 is also seen as "perfect" in Judaism) is seen as a special number because it is exactly half of 666. However, at no point does the bible mention a number of god -ross616- ( talk) 13:50, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
I added a cleanup tag to the beginning of the article. There are some facts that may not belong in this context (may be better in Number of the beast), including those under "Trivia". There are also a few uncited facts in the article. -- Adhall 16:03, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Can someone please get rid of that picture? It makes me uncomfortable.
I added this link, and now I am undoing its removal, because it was not a "SPAM" insertion, it explains a viewpoint sustained by thousand of people which consider that the divine can speak to humankind even in our days, through our hearts and minds, not only trough old texts and prophecies. Kryon is perhaps the most known and recognized channelled messenger from angelic beings, in the same way as many "orthodox" religious people consider "normal" to receive messages from angels or God through prophets in a byblical context. I think that no one who respect free expression can consider improper or intrusive this kind of fresh news in a so stuck and manipulative subject. Thank you for respecting this other viewpoint. Gco 06:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
It's ridiculous. You say people fear the numbers, and you put it there, big and large. Even I, not having the phobia, felt slightly uncomfortable. So please, get rid of it, and replace it with another picture, or jut keep it removed. Thank you. 116.15.78.204 05:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
I have to aggre here. If some one with Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia came here just to find out more about it they would not want to see a big 666. Ghostcar313 02:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
You can't delete the picture because it scares you, if someone has the phobia even reading a typed 666 scares them so they couldn't read it anyway and the picture is just a typed 666 anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.83.162.175 ( talk) 01:16, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
The picture isn't just a ridiculous addition because of the page's subject, it's also unnecessary. On the pages for letters and numbers 0-10, it's appropriate to show visual representations of individual characters - how they have evolved over time and through cultures, for instance. But here, there is no need to waste space with a giant image of a number that is already represented the same way in the actual article. It's not about censorship, it's about whether an image adds something to a person's understanding of an idea. In this case it does not, and I'd vote for its removal on that basis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.50.50.78 ( talk) 23:34, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

The Nancy and Ronald Reagen example does not show that they are Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobes (even if they might be). Most people would try to get their address changed, why not? That is not a "prominent example" and it should be removed or most likely reworded to be a "possible example" at most.
Omg guys! Theres a big massive fuck off 3 6s on the article. This is like when you had a massive picture of a tarantula on the aracnophobia page. Just use some sense.

As a Greek, I believe that using modern Greek it should have been Hexakosiahexentahexephobia In modern Greek 600 is hexakosia ("εξακόσια"), 60 is hexenta ("εξήντα") and 6 is hexe ("έξι") "εξακόσιοι" is used when counting things, e.g. 600 men. -- 79.107.247.180 06:32, 11 August 2010
Hey guys I found out that the real area code for 666 was in Kansas, specifically in the regions of Topeka. Topeka's zip code might be 66614 or something like that, but I know for a fact that Kansas has the area code 666. Oiuyjhgfv ( talk) 11:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
No evidence is presented that a religious distaste for the number 666 constitutes a clinical phobia, or that even one person has ever been diagnosed with this condtion.. The cited sources are all from popular culture, not medicine or psychology. I don't think this is a real phobia. 0nullbinary0 ( talk) 12:13, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
