A couple of weeks ago, I had lunch by myself in a cafe near my home and then met my wife for dinner at a hotel buffet in Taichung. Neither of us had been there before, so I had to look up the address. It was number 666.
Today I happened to eat at the same cafe where I had had lunch that day, and I noticed the street address. It's also number 666.

And what tough Beast, its hour come round at last, slouches toward restaurant 666 to be eaten?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't 666 considered a Very Good Number in the Chinese popular-numerology that has Opinions about such things? (My only exposure to this phenomenon is one Chinese drama I saw that depicted a scene being livestreamed on social media and various livestream audience members reacting in real time with jargon expressions of approval including '66666!' scrolling across the screen.) The only better number is 666666666666666666....infinitytimes. The people who bought or rented that street number for their cafe probably had to pay extra.
The only other thing my brain dredges up is this bit from Hotel California:
And in the master's chambers
They've gathered for the feast:
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast....

Yes, that's right. Most repdigits are lucky, but particularly 888 and 666.
William,
And what if 6 turns out to be 9?
Doesn't to Calculate the number of the beast means to Count?
6+6+6= 18.
1+ 8= 9
Isn't 9 a creation number as is 3 ?

33.
3 +3 = 6 (the number of man)
3+3+3= 9
3 6 9 the goose drank wine.

You should know, your remarkable comment was remarkably useful. Your second comment:

P.S. The one right here is pretty good too.
Ben,
Thank you very much.
