Random: Best Metaquote Ever!

[nebroadwe]

If you don't read metaquotes, maybe you should start, just for this one about De'Ath and taxes. (Which I noticed because ravensnow was telling me yesterday about a romance novel whose hero is named De'Ath and he's kind of a jerk, so the heroine shoots him, and then they get married. Edward Elric may have a point.)

Is laughing uproariously about this. Even if someone's correct and Canada doesn't have 666 as an area code. *pouts*

If you read further down, someone explains that it's not an area code, but something else. Those wacky Canadians.

Oh, that's....

Priceless?

Hah, that's great! Reminds me of a short story a friend of mine wrote in college about a cell phone that the Devil could call whenever he wanted.

I'm reminded of the series of corrections "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" had to run when they mixed up the location of the area code 616 (the Number of the Beast in some early Biblical mss.): "If you want to call Beelzebub, he's in Grand Rapids."

Hah, oh no, did they get all kinds of angry calls from Grand Rapids residents?

[nebroadwe.livejournal.com]

Yes, because that very week Grand Rapids was being visited by ... President George W. Bush. You cannot make this stuff up.

Incredible!! Clearly that was a sign.
