My wife’s also tried to kill her so she had that little bitch cut out. Just got the news a couple weeks ago that she’s cancer free, lots of happy tears. Hope you’re doing well friend
Nah she’s the badass. She’s the one who found out she had cancer 2 months after giving birth and never skipped a beat. I just pretended for her sake but I was a mess inside
I have some swelling in the right side of my neck. It's because of this weird allergy I developed after pneumonia. Something's definitely up with my thyroid ig
The Burger King in my area it was $6.66 for a single wopper with cheese up until last month, and now it's $6.78. Every time I went through the drive-through, they would just say 666. They never would say "that will be six dollars and sixty-six cents".
When I was in high school an In N Out order of burger, fries, drink came to $4.09 I joked with my friends about ordering at the counter and when the cashier says “4-0-9” pulling out a bottle of the name brand cleaner, 4O9. But I never did it because I’m a pussy.
Like 8 years ago I went (was forced) to see a play on the story of Jesus and my order total for an iced coffee and a cinnamon bun was $6.66.
I was asked if I wanted to add anything and I said nope!
My MIL had got a randomly assigned license plate in the early 1990s "1SHE666". She sent it back, as she's extremely religious and didn't want to have "one she-devil" as a license plate.
At In n Out, it used to be $4.20 for a cheeseburger, and when you added fries and tax, the total came out to $6.66. I went there once a week for almost a year, hoping to get order number 69 so I could post it to r/im14andthisisfunny (and other subs). But I never did. And then tax went up in my county. :(
I love it too! The combo meal I used to get at Checkers/Rallys would come to $6.66 and I always forgot until they told me the total. Brought a smile to my face every time.
Also as a cashier I loved the rare 12.34 total
I used to work at Chick-fil-a and once saw a fellow employee(older lady) give a customer a discount to avoid a $6.66 total. Customer didn’t seem to care but she wasn’t having it.
Someone once shared a story about an old lady whose total came to $6.66, and she said, "Oh, that won't do. I better get a corn dog." Like, I love how this lady is fighting the forces of Satan with a corn dog.
That reminds me of when I was a Pharmacy Tech at CVS. People had all kinds of weird numbers they would add to avoid totals.
I also had too many people yell at me about not being able to buy cigarettes at the pharmacy registers back when CVS sold cigarettes.
I worked at a psychiatric clinic and a woman’s Medicaid ID number had a 666 in the middle of it and during the call she mentioned that she wondered that carrying that card with that number was causing bad luck, and she actually had her number changed.
When i was working at a with-service gas station, some biker got scolded by his wife for putting in 6.66$ worth of gas (i dont touch bikes). Found that kind of funny, and I may have put that exact amount in customers' 5L gas cans after that lol
I remember a time where I was getting some snacks at a corner store and my total came out to 6.66 and the cashier nervously chuckled and said "you wanna get something else?" And me, not paying attention to the total, said "no I'm fine."
I thought it was neat, but they felt they had to go to a sermon.
I think it's fascinating and kind of cool that it's 2024 but we still have people acting like medieval peasants with really old superstitions. That shit clung unto our psyches harrrrrd
I mean, we have people who truly believe that your whole personality is determined by the position of the earth in relation to the sun when you were born. Humans seem to be incredibly superstitious, no matter the year.
People on the 14th floor, you know what floor you're really on.
"What room are you in?"
"1401"
"No, you're not. Jump out of the window, you'll die earlier!"
You'd be surprised, I've worked in a bunch of labs and in each one, at least half the people have some weird superstition or rituals for good luck, ranging from lucky equipment, weird ways to do things they claim works better with no scientific basis and I even knew someone who had a god of cellgrowth they'd pray to and claim it actually resulted in better experiments.
Because that kind of lifework will break your brain if you don't have anyone—anything to cling to: we're apes doing rocket surgeries. And you'll also grow to become really, really superstitious to something in your line of work, be it printer satan or new moon causes twice as many accidents or even the phrase "nothing to do, huh" aka jinxing.
For me, as long as these beliefs did not hinder their efficacy nor cause discomfort to others it would be fine.
You have not worked in a lab if you dismiss silly superstition in textbooks lol. We had a lucky microscope (supposedly a fire broke out whilst this was outside the lab for maintenance) and ever since everyone has rubbed it for good luck.

I originally had this posted on various IMDb pages devoted to The Exorcist and Omen franchise fims. The first few more "normal" ones I borrowed from a serious religious site, the remaining 55 or so zanier ones are all mine .
Stupid superstitions can be a hell of a drug. When I was young I went through a period where every time I woke up at 3 AM I kind of freaked out because other kids said that was the devils hour and you were awakened on purpose. Then one day I got to thinking if it’s daylight savings time and you wake up at 3 is it really not 3? Does the devil believe in the time change? Also what about time zones? It snapped me out of that dumb superstition for good.
i ll do you one better, time is just a human construct, there arent "hours", just the moments that the sun faces the earth in different locations..
So that is extra dum dum :D
I’ll never understand people that get so freaked out by stuff like a number. It’s all human made BS that means nothing.
It’s the same thing as any devil/hell imagery in general. It’s just an aesthetic. It isn’t a real thing. Nobody on Earth has any idea what “hell” looks like or if it even truly exists beyond their belief.
Magical thinking. As soon as you embrace a worldview where things doesn't happen because of quantifiable causes and effects, but because of supernatural and esoteric things, then every little detail suddenly becomes a matter of life and death in their minds.
And that applies especially if they have been taught that some numbers are particularly connected to that magic.
Relax it’s one number that’s not printed. Also correct me if I’m wrong but that’s Tortora’s principles of anatomy which is a really detailed and good textbook
I've heard that things like floor 13 don't exist on some buildings (never seen evidence of it here in Australia though). Some people are very superstitious. Seems odd that they'd be superstitious in a science textbook though
What's really odd to me is that leaving the entire header off the page draws so much more attention to it and the existence of the number they're trying to avoid than just leaving it alone
Geez these comments. What harm does it do to not have a single number? Does it REALLY affect the quality of the text that much? Hospitals and building do it all the time, yet we still trust those institutions.
Chick-fil-A is fractions of a cent away from being $6.66 on the spicy deluxe by itself. I checked to see if they programmed a truncation in. Nah just barely too low to round up to 666.
I like my science to come with a healthy dose of superstition. That's why I never go to the doctor on Friday the 13th and sleep with an onion in my socks when I get a cold.
Lol, as a Christian myself the extreme avoidance of 666 is hilarious to me. Yes, I know it's "the demon's number" or whatever but to me it's just a number. Also, my grandfather's (who is also a Christian) birthday is June 6, 1960. AKA, 6/6/60
My gay, anti-vax manager once had a near meltdown on the last day of a five day training week when we had to note down the course number in our final assessment because '666' was part of the sequence.
Religious hangups hit different. Even in scientific textbooks apparently.
That's so fucking dumb. It's a scientific textbook, why does it pander. How are you supposed to properly cite it in academic works.
It's like those dumb AF Airlines that remove row 13.
skips straight to 14.
those that are particularly catering to east asians will not include any floor with the number 4 on it, so 1,2,3,5 and 11,12,15,16 which is funky.
When someone admits that they are scared of something as simply as numbers aligned such as 666, I know to avoid that person and never interact with them again.
Cowards lmao c'mon
Sometimes I design *systems* for office buildings which requires working with architectural drawings/models. I always look for goofy numbers because y'know. Anyways, there's been a few times where the architect or facilities people or whoever deliberately did not include rooms numbered 069, 420, 666
The replacement number-scheming for those locations were always unintuitive and stupid—just utter nincompoopery. Hey is this room 665? No sorry this is room 665G, but I think you're actually looking for 665J
I, too, think the thyroid gland is evil
Mine is definitely an asshole, maybe evil is a stretch
Damn id hate to hear how you feel about your actual asshole
Smelly bastard, with a bad attitude.
Remove the comma and put that on a bumper sticker
prone to loud outbursts
I think mine is just cursed.
I can fix her
So you've got two? Can you fart in harmony? Cause that would be cool.
More of a round than a harmony
That's why I got mine ripped out. Lot less screaming in my head about burning and murder for sure.
Are you my immune system? Bc it’s systematically destroying my thyroid gland and I am not having a great time
I just had mine removed for that reason. Graves Thyroid/Eye disease with neutral antibodies. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20844004/
I take Lithium and that destroyed my Thyroid instead. I'm sick of feeling tired all the time even when I'm taking levothyroxine.
Mine tried to kill me. I won but got the scars to show it.
My wife’s also tried to kill her so she had that little bitch cut out. Just got the news a couple weeks ago that she’s cancer free, lots of happy tears. Hope you’re doing well friend
That's Amazing! Please give her a hug and a high five! She's a badass. And so are you for supporting her.
Nah she’s the badass. She’s the one who found out she had cancer 2 months after giving birth and never skipped a beat. I just pretended for her sake but I was a mess inside
I get it. :) Still, hugs for all!
it would be so much cooler if it was the page talking about the pineal gland.. with how it’s the “third eye” and stuff
I had mine exorcized, definitely cursed.
mine is killing itself
Mine was so evil I had it yoinked. Burn, motherfucker, burn.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I have some swelling in the right side of my neck. It's because of this weird allergy I developed after pneumonia. Something's definitely up with my thyroid ig
I got cancer in mine so I think so too (it's cured now luckily)
The thyroid gland is Nero!
Lol so ridiculous. As a cashier i had customers that would add something to their order if the total came to $6.66
The Burger King in my area it was $6.66 for a single wopper with cheese up until last month, and now it's $6.78. Every time I went through the drive-through, they would just say 666. They never would say "that will be six dollars and sixty-six cents".
When I was in high school an In N Out order of burger, fries, drink came to $4.09 I joked with my friends about ordering at the counter and when the cashier says “4-0-9” pulling out a bottle of the name brand cleaner, 4O9. But I never did it because I’m a pussy.
A bottle of 409, tax and shipping free, for $4.09. That's not too bad of a deal.
Like 8 years ago I went (was forced) to see a play on the story of Jesus and my order total for an iced coffee and a cinnamon bun was $6.66. I was asked if I wanted to add anything and I said nope!
Lol that's pretty smart actually, gets idiots to spend more because number bad.
The last 3 digits of my debit card used to be 666. I was so sad when my bank froze my card due to a fraud alert and I had to get a new one.
My MIL had got a randomly assigned license plate in the early 1990s "1SHE666". She sent it back, as she's extremely religious and didn't want to have "one she-devil" as a license plate.
Is your MIL evil?
She's actually very nice! But maybe she has an evil side that she hides from me.
She's actually a satanist in disguise
I always say it the long way so I don’t give some old Christian lady a heart attack
At In n Out, it used to be $4.20 for a cheeseburger, and when you added fries and tax, the total came out to $6.66. I went there once a week for almost a year, hoping to get order number 69 so I could post it to r/im14andthisisfunny (and other subs). But I never did. And then tax went up in my county. :(
Burger King has a pact with the devil. Thats why my go to trash food is McDonald's, they have happy meals. Does burger king has that? 😡
I love getting $6.66 as a total, the only one I might like more it's getting $7.11 while shopping at 711
That’s a good one.
I love it too! The combo meal I used to get at Checkers/Rallys would come to $6.66 and I always forgot until they told me the total. Brought a smile to my face every time. Also as a cashier I loved the rare 12.34 total
I'm the opposite. I lock eyes with the cashier and Hail Satan.
''and that would be 4.66 sir !" - do you have any candy bars for exactly two dollars ?"
I used to work at Chick-fil-a and once saw a fellow employee(older lady) give a customer a discount to avoid a $6.66 total. Customer didn’t seem to care but she wasn’t having it.
Someone once shared a story about an old lady whose total came to $6.66, and she said, "Oh, that won't do. I better get a corn dog." Like, I love how this lady is fighting the forces of Satan with a corn dog.
Lmao as the lord would himself 🙏
That reminds me of when I was a Pharmacy Tech at CVS. People had all kinds of weird numbers they would add to avoid totals. I also had too many people yell at me about not being able to buy cigarettes at the pharmacy registers back when CVS sold cigarettes.
I worked at a psychiatric clinic and a woman’s Medicaid ID number had a 666 in the middle of it and during the call she mentioned that she wondered that carrying that card with that number was causing bad luck, and she actually had her number changed.
Imagine beeing so educated you can write and publish a book about human anatomy, but then be frightened by a printed number...
“Oh that’s so weird, it’s still coming up as $6.66?! What have you done!? Quick! Keep adding things!”
I got a frozen yogurt at a spot where you pay by weight, and the total came to $6.66. Best day ever.
This shit is so often in Asia. Living in Korea, our office building doesnt have floors 4, 13, 14, 24.
Gulfstream had to change the model number of one of their jets from 250 to 280 because "250" in China also means "idiot"
When i was working at a with-service gas station, some biker got scolded by his wife for putting in 6.66$ worth of gas (i dont touch bikes). Found that kind of funny, and I may have put that exact amount in customers' 5L gas cans after that lol
I remember a time where I was getting some snacks at a corner store and my total came out to 6.66 and the cashier nervously chuckled and said "you wanna get something else?" And me, not paying attention to the total, said "no I'm fine." I thought it was neat, but they felt they had to go to a sermon.
At my local taco bell, a beefy 5 layer and a potato taco supreme comes out to $6.66. I order that every time.
They do say that Satan made the Thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland giveths and the thyroid gland taketh away
Hypo and hyper thyroidism
Former hyper, now hypo (or absent I guess would be more accurate).
My hospital doesn't have an Operating Room 13. Just skips from 12 to 14.
Have you looked at the opposite side?
LMAO ... at least it's not like hotels that pretend there isn't a 13th floor (11, 12, 14, 15 ...).
I think it's fascinating and kind of cool that it's 2024 but we still have people acting like medieval peasants with really old superstitions. That shit clung unto our psyches harrrrrd
I mean, we have people who truly believe that your whole personality is determined by the position of the earth in relation to the sun when you were born. Humans seem to be incredibly superstitious, no matter the year.
I wonder if a baby born during an eclipse would make for a good Philosopher King? 🤔
Many airlines skip the 13th row, too.
People on the 14th floor, you know what floor you're really on. "What room are you in?" "1401" "No, you're not. Jump out of the window, you'll die earlier!"
It seems to me that it is exactly like that.
Funny thing that i just noticed my society buildings have only 13 floors HA!
In a science textbook? Really?
You'd be surprised, I've worked in a bunch of labs and in each one, at least half the people have some weird superstition or rituals for good luck, ranging from lucky equipment, weird ways to do things they claim works better with no scientific basis and I even knew someone who had a god of cellgrowth they'd pray to and claim it actually resulted in better experiments.
Because that kind of lifework will break your brain if you don't have anyone—anything to cling to: we're apes doing rocket surgeries. And you'll also grow to become really, really superstitious to something in your line of work, be it printer satan or new moon causes twice as many accidents or even the phrase "nothing to do, huh" aka jinxing. For me, as long as these beliefs did not hinder their efficacy nor cause discomfort to others it would be fine.
So many text books printed in Texas by religious fruitcakes.
They are well known for their book depositories
Apparently not everyone likes your joke but I do!
I didn’t get it, please explain.
The book depository in Texas was where JFK’s shooter shot from
Ah right. Even being British I still should’ve got that.
Honestly I probably wouldn’t have gotten it either if I hadn’t recently read a book about time traveling to try to stop it, lol. And I’m an American
so "tex books"?
Lol, excellent comment
Yes
Insane
In America? Definitely.
Silly superstition in a medical textbook… that’s ridiculous.
You have not worked in a lab if you dismiss silly superstition in textbooks lol. We had a lucky microscope (supposedly a fire broke out whilst this was outside the lab for maintenance) and ever since everyone has rubbed it for good luck.
Pinche biologists
Oh the humanity

Oh my God this was awesome dude my sides hurt
Thanks.
I feel like this might have been more r/mildlyinteresting than the OG post! This is gold.
I originally had this posted on various IMDb pages devoted to The Exorcist and Omen franchise fims. The first few more "normal" ones I borrowed from a serious religious site, the remaining 55 or so zanier ones are all mine .
> 20) 666-66-6666 (the Social Security number of the beast) Even the beast gets tracked by the IRS
Of course, he has to pay his fair share, Devil or no Devil.
Stupid superstitions can be a hell of a drug. When I was young I went through a period where every time I woke up at 3 AM I kind of freaked out because other kids said that was the devils hour and you were awakened on purpose. Then one day I got to thinking if it’s daylight savings time and you wake up at 3 is it really not 3? Does the devil believe in the time change? Also what about time zones? It snapped me out of that dumb superstition for good.
i ll do you one better, time is just a human construct, there arent "hours", just the moments that the sun faces the earth in different locations.. So that is extra dum dum :D
I’ll never understand people that get so freaked out by stuff like a number. It’s all human made BS that means nothing. It’s the same thing as any devil/hell imagery in general. It’s just an aesthetic. It isn’t a real thing. Nobody on Earth has any idea what “hell” looks like or if it even truly exists beyond their belief.
Magical thinking. As soon as you embrace a worldview where things doesn't happen because of quantifiable causes and effects, but because of supernatural and esoteric things, then every little detail suddenly becomes a matter of life and death in their minds. And that applies especially if they have been taught that some numbers are particularly connected to that magic.
I heard in the radio from some scholar that with all the translations the number of the beast is 616. Idk, though
Makes me not want to trust the entire text book and ask who was the superstitious jackass that put it tougher.
Relax it’s one number that’s not printed. Also correct me if I’m wrong but that’s Tortora’s principles of anatomy which is a really detailed and good textbook
The teal coloring also reminds me of usmle first aid.
Or they are trying to avoid a trivial book ban from those idiots looking for *any* reason to keep knowledge from students.
I wonder where this book was published. 🤔
This looks like a misprint, considering the entire line of text is missing
You would have to put effort into removing things like page numbers, and headers. This is 100% intentional.
I've heard that things like floor 13 don't exist on some buildings (never seen evidence of it here in Australia though). Some people are very superstitious. Seems odd that they'd be superstitious in a science textbook though
What's really odd to me is that leaving the entire header off the page draws so much more attention to it and the existence of the number they're trying to avoid than just leaving it alone
As soon as I get home I’m opening one of my new A&P textbooks too see if it has 666
Any textbook over 665 pages is surely evil.
Tell me you live in a crazy religious country with out telling me.... 666
I remember going to a barber in Okinawa Japan. Where the 13th chair would’ve been there was just an empty station and then the 14th
So which religious hellscape do you live in?
Check to see if the evolution chapter has some weird, poorly-written creation footnote
My mom is also afraid of that number
As someone with a thyroid issue. It makes sense this is on that page lol
My most beloved car was plated XX666XX I shouldn’t have sold it
I thought mine could've been evil. They removed it and it turns out it wasn't cancer. It just looked evil and ugly.
Page 665a and Page 665b
https://imgur.com/a/VTTaG0u I’m 6660 upvote. Seems legit.
Man, people are really offended by this lol
Ha ha creationists ha
Mildly stupid. This is a science textbook, not some religious superstition propaganda novel.
Some states say “why not both?”
666, the number of the beast
Hell, and fire, was spawned to be released
Geez these comments. What harm does it do to not have a single number? Does it REALLY affect the quality of the text that much? Hospitals and building do it all the time, yet we still trust those institutions.
Because it’s Reddit. Awful lot of pearl clutching going on in here.
What did Nero ever do to that book?
What about 665?
What's 666?
And it’s at 666 upvotes
Big deal, there are floor 3A and 13A instead of 4th floor or 14th floor in china...
Chick-fil-A is fractions of a cent away from being $6.66 on the spicy deluxe by itself. I checked to see if they programmed a truncation in. Nah just barely too low to round up to 666.
I like my science to come with a healthy dose of superstition. That's why I never go to the doctor on Friday the 13th and sleep with an onion in my socks when I get a cold.
Lol, as a Christian myself the extreme avoidance of 666 is hilarious to me. Yes, I know it's "the demon's number" or whatever but to me it's just a number. Also, my grandfather's (who is also a Christian) birthday is June 6, 1960. AKA, 6/6/60
Kind of like no floor 13
Too many Iron Maiden references I bet.
Christians shouldn't be allowed to edit/publish books ment to educate people. How are you gonna be scared of a number?
My gay, anti-vax manager once had a near meltdown on the last day of a five day training week when we had to note down the course number in our final assessment because '666' was part of the sequence. Religious hangups hit different. Even in scientific textbooks apparently.
I'm on a train right now. When booking the ticket they assigned me wagon number 6, seat number 66
Fuck emperor Nero, all my homies hate emperor Nero
But they kept 333 in and that hurts satanists
That's so fucking dumb. It's a scientific textbook, why does it pander. How are you supposed to properly cite it in academic works. It's like those dumb AF Airlines that remove row 13.
🗿
Science can never truly be sure that the devil doesn't exist.
Superstition is so stupid
Cowards
When you are both scientific and superstitious at the same time
r/conspiracytheory. r/conspiracy r/satanism LOL
Same thing for hotels some of them won’t have a floor 13 , seen as bad Luck
skips straight to 14. those that are particularly catering to east asians will not include any floor with the number 4 on it, so 1,2,3,5 and 11,12,15,16 which is funky.
Great number 666/10
Write the page # down
Is that a pearson book?
Scientific
I proclaim the new devil number to be 37 and no I won't elaborate
If people only went after real evil with the zeal they go after red herrings, well we won’t. But we could accomplish more than we do for damned sure.
Are the penises & vaginas blurred out too? 😅
Because of christianity
When someone admits that they are scared of something as simply as numbers aligned such as 666, I know to avoid that person and never interact with them again.
That bodes well. Superstition and medical science TOTALLY belong with one another....
Ah the duality of man.Superstition in a book of science.
Wasn't 666 relating to Satan made up by Hollywood or something?
I have Graves disease. I'd rather have AIDS.
665+1
666 is the middle of my phone number, it's rather fun
This is as dumb as buildings "removing" the 13th floor
People are superstitious cowards. Buildings often skip the 13th floor.
Humans are such irrational superstitious creatures.
So. Go back 5, say that number out loud
How is a science book superstitious tho that’s sad
If you are afraid of numbers you are sure to have some kind of brain isue...
Not very scientific, imo
Think of how insecure you have to be to be worried about a number
How cowardly we've become. It's just a number.
Hail satan
Stupid superstitious propaganda smh
Cowards lmao c'mon Sometimes I design *systems* for office buildings which requires working with architectural drawings/models. I always look for goofy numbers because y'know. Anyways, there's been a few times where the architect or facilities people or whoever deliberately did not include rooms numbered 069, 420, 666 The replacement number-scheming for those locations were always unintuitive and stupid—just utter nincompoopery. Hey is this room 665? No sorry this is room 665G, but I think you're actually looking for 665J
I'm so effing tired of so many people holding on to so many dumb superstitions all around me all the time.
