With the "666" discussion, I thought I'd throw this into the pot: in
the 817 NPA, where did Bell put the 666 prefix?  Waco -- home to
Baylor University -- of course.  Poetic justice, if you ask me...

[Moderator's Note: Listen, we went through this about a year ago here,
and people found all these bizarre examples of 666, such as one state,
where it was truly assigned to the Great Satan: the IRS! It was the
federal government centrex in another place, etc.  Here in Chicago,
the '666 North Lake Shore Drive Building' changed its address to 668
with permission of the Postal Disservice due to some important and
large commercial tenant moving in who had nightmares about what might
happen to business when the customers found out.  PT]
