This is for you, Damien!

[QuirkyCarla]

What is your lucky number, and why? I like 3 myself.

I'm partial to 14. I was born on the 14th of the month, so I guess that is why.

It's also the National Holiday around here.

Hey, number of the beast is an even number! Why isn't it evil?

Are odd-numbered prices also evil? I've heard of $9.99 and $9.95, but only rarely $9.94 or $9.98.

Those aren't as evil as long as tax is included in those prices. The reason they aren't as evil is you can just round them to 10 bucks, and you can just give them a a 10 or 20 dollar bill or whatever without getting a shit load of change back. You'll just get a few measly pennies. If they add tax to that though, you'll get at least 40 cents back.

OK then, whats up with gas prices and even moreso, what's up with that and 9/10 of a cent BS?

Because 666 is 3 digits, and 3 is evil. 

Edit: Oh wait, I meant that it IS evil because of that.

That's some scary logic you've got right there... I need more coffee.

and divisible by three twice.
the third time you get 24.666666666666666666666667

I thought the 9/10 meant 9/10 of a gallon?

[McGiver]

second guessing myself moment:

i am pretty certain that$3.35 9/10 per 1 gallon of gasoline is how it reads.

I wonder who's logic is scarier...mine or happeh's.

Calculators are evil, too.

I have yet to see the logic in what Happeh says. But that's for the Ask Happeh Anything thread, right? "Is there any logic in what Happeh says?"
