Talk:Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is no area code 666 in Reeves, Louisiana The actual area code is 337. I call b.s. on the last line of this article about the BBC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.249.176.251 (talk) 19:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] No love for the number?

If there was something like a "phobia", then maybe there could be a "philia" version of the number, too. Of course, this might only refer to Satanists but it IS possible nonetheless. 1stLtLombardi 14:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge?

It seems to me that this page should be merged into the page for Number of the Beast (numerology), where most of the same information is covered better. Rcharman -- 10/19/2005 9:48 PM EDT

Everybody is sure this exist? 217.132.157.232 15:47, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah...a 33 letter word. Hexaphobia seems like a more realistic term --DragonWR12LB 03:15, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

The use of -kosioi and -konta are necessary to depict 666. Just using 'Hexa' means you're phobic about the number six. Hexakosioi is 600, hexekonta is 60 and hexa is 6. --Pawchikapawpaw 19:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Agoraphobia isn't what it literally means, I still wonder why they didn't shortened that word... --Anselm 01:08, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Not true. Agoraphobia comes from the ancient greek word "αγορά" + phobia; although in Modern Greek "agora" refers to a market place, in Ancient Greek it refers to the political assemblies of the ancient Athenians, which were particularly crowdy. This explains how the word ended up meaning what it means today --dionyziz 17:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC).

How the hell do you say that?

This is probably the strangest article on Wikipedia...

[edit] Pronunciation

Please will someone put on the page for this article how it should be pronounced?

Hex-a-koh-si-oh-ee-hex-eh-kon-ta-hex-a-pho-bi-a. Anyone familiar with the IPA, please be my guest... --65.143.28.63 20:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC) (SheeEttin)

Ok, now say that 6 times fast.--24.248.60.130 22:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I would really like an IPA pronunciation key too. For now, here's a closer one.

Hek-suh-koh-see-oh-ee-hek-suh-kon-tuh-hek-suh-foh-bee-uh

Assuming that foh is the emphasized syllable (?).

theGeoffMeister 05:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

This is still a work in progress considering that this is a really long constructed word and that it doesn't really sound natural even if you've mastered the pronunciation: ˌhɛksəkəʊziəʊiˌhɛksəkɒntəˌhɛksəˈfəʊbiə I need a linguistics expert to check this over and probably move the emphasis markers, however I'm quite sure that the IPA symbols are correct. It would be much simpler if we just re-named it something like "six-six-six-aphobia" as it is seldom used anyway. Angryafghan 02:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

What a weird name: Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia

30 letters...Does anybody know a longer english names?... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.7.143 (talk) 01:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This is why I love Wikipedia

"Note that in base 12, two-thirds is 0.8, and 0.666 is the fraction 6/11."

Duly Noted, good sir.

hahaha. I don't know if that sentence works too well with the flow of the article, and it is kind of superfluous (although, so is noting that three sixes is a good hand in poker), but I think that's awesome.--Heyitspeter 02:12, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hell, Michigan

Someone should probably add the details of Hell, Michigan's events for today (06/06/06)... just for the hell of it.

Thank you, try the veal.

Oh ha, you are SO funny. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.86.171 (talk) 22:01, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fear of fractions?

Well now, that's just plain silly.

I think maybe its more fear of math class ;) Caleb09 01:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Illogical redundancy that is illogically redundant

from this article:

Some other Christian thinkers believe that number does indeed refer to something in the end times, but as the exact meaning is unclear, any "phobia" is illogical.

from phobia:

A phobia (from the Greek φόβος "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject.

from http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/illogical:

illogical 1. Contrary to logic; lacking sense or sound reasoning.

If a phobia is unreasonable, which by definition is illogical, then isn't a phobia illogical by definition? If the meaning of the vague apocalyptic idea behind the phobia was clear, would the phobia be logical? This redundancy should be removed or significantly modified.CatastrophicToad 13:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I've undone User:Dr binks' sweeping reversion back to his own edition. If some changes are necessary (which may be the case) then please discuss them. Reverting to your own version is not the same as WP:BOLD! Inner Earth 14:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] June 6th, 2006

I'm not sure about the factual accuracy of the claim that:

There were many people with hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia on 6/6/06, because that date reminded people of the Number of the Beast.

As I understood it (IANAMD), a phobia is strong, persistant and interferes with daily life. Is this possible on one day? Inner Earth 08:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Of course not. One might perhaps say,

Many people with hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia were anxious on June 6th, 2006, because that date (6/6/06) reminded them of the Number of the Beast.

Or more correctly (e.g. about certain priests in Norway),

Many people were anxious that on June 6th, 2006, satanists would carry out vandalism or other activities, because the date (6/6/06) resembles the Number of the Beast.

--Niels Ø 08:27, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Is the second of these actually hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia though? Isn't that just fear of vandalism or the Beast? How about an amendment to your first one suggestion, which is not so rooted in the origination of the fear -

Many people with hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia were anxious on June 6th, 2006, because that date (6/6/06) reminded them of the number 666.

Inner Earth 08:55, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

yes, but would you be able to find solid references for this?--Niels Ø 12:46, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

There are no references either for the old version or for any of the suggestions I made here, they are all conjecture and educated guesses. I've taken out the relevent line for the moment. Inner Earth 13:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 616

Hasn't recent research turned up compelling evidence that the number of the beast is actually 616 anyway? That would be worth a mention here. Transentient

A link to The Number of The Beast would cover such details.

[edit] amateur numerology

The mentioned Ronald (6 letters) Wilson (6 letters) Reagan (6 letters) - 666. (Duh.) Arakrys 14 okt 2006

Fear and Phobia are not necessarily the same thing. This article describes a the phobia that represents a fear of 666. Someone with a general fear of the number 666 would probably still be able to read this article. Someone with a phobia of 666 would probably be unable to read this article.

I presume that the legitimacy of this phobia, as an actual disorder, is irrelevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgreat (talk • contribs) 16:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] rarity

this article basically states that fear of 666 is rare. it is not a rare fear at all.

[edit] longest word?

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia = 29 Antidisestablishmentarianism = 28

Who else reckons this counts as the longest word in the English language?

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobics = 30 -Monk e y 13 !!! 19:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobians = 31, Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobically = 33, and no doubt one could construct even longer words, with or without this root. "Longest word in the English language" is as silly as "largest integer", but you may look for "longest word in a printed English dictionary or encyclopedia published by a regular publishing house", say. "Longest word in en.wikipedia" would be problematic, though.--Niels Ø 09:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe that the term hexa---phobian doesn't exist, it's simply hexa---phobe. But I still see your point. Antidisestablishmentarianism is NOT the longest word in the English language, it is just currently the longest word in the Oxford English dictionary. I haven't the slightest for what the longest word actually is. theGeoffMeister 05:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

YOu have to read wikipedia, not only write it :-) -- Longest word in English. `'mikkanarxi 05:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia itself, Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis IS the longest word invented to this day. This word contains 45 letters and it is a disease caused by volcanoe dust. Look it up in the Wikipedia search engine, you'll see. 67.187.159.163 04:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible vandalism

I don't know enough on the subject to fix the article myself, but it somehow I doubt that the word Superawesomenoobhaxors belongs on the page.

Deffinate vandalism. Ill see if I can pull back an older version, if not ill leave it to someone else. Oh well looks like someone beat me to it. Seems to be sorted though so its all good. wow thats a long word —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.208.251.23 (talk) 01:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] These sixes are everywhere

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Canonical_hours#Septimal_clock_for_measuring_canonical_hours Someone provided there solution of avoiding using numerical and unit systems that are based on on multiples of these hellish sixes. 83.5.70.1 15:05, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I think now that these six-related numbers and units are rather confused by damaging septenary consistence than being truly satanic in their origin, because values of two third of them roughly matches reconstructed multiples/submultiples from God's septenary system to be found here: [1] Previously I thought that these units and numbers are wholly satanic, because I didn't yet finished reconstruction of septenary system that unconfuses original septenary measurement system, and I could not compare these units. These non-septenary systems appears to be confusion of original God's septenary system, that was after confusion satanized by satan worshippers, by profanating/satanizing certain numbers, that before satan's rebellion were only plain numbers in septenary system and nothing else. 83.5.61.35 11:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Finally God's private revelations from here:http://www.giftstor.org/tomkiel05fst.html after series of serious doubts presented above proved me that all what is related to six is wholly satanic, and that God uses only septenary perfect system of measurements, because He is fully consistent, and not contradictory in anything.

They will receive their Just Punishment in My Perfect Timing and it will last eternally.

Be grateful for God's perfect timing is near. Remain in prayer!

Septenary=Perfect. From this goes unimpeachable conclusion, talking that if six is imperfect, and if seven is perfect, then God's units cannot be a copy of babylonian imperfect units, even in rescaled version. It is technically impossible, because it is deduced from definitions of six and seven, that are imperfect and perfect respectively.

The men who wish to destroy will themselves be destroyed. The Great Hour of Mercy has only minutes left. (In God's Timing) Make good use of these few minutes dear ones. Cling to God's Mercy and be protected under my mantle of motherly love.

As God's Timing is based on God's perfect seven and NOT imperfect diabolic six or sixty, in consequence God's minutes can be only 1/7 or 1/49 part of God's hour, that is 1/7 or 1/49 part of the God's day.

I gave My Life in love for you yet very few of you can even give a few minutes of your time without complaint.

Babylonian measures are human from the devil, not God's! Even Sabbath-related Commandment forces on us septenary system, not base-six.

Note: Please remember that God's timing is always different than ours.

As always...PRAY..PRAY..PRAY..!

All IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!!" ( again... in His Timing)

God by default uses different septenary measures, and uses only human units originated from satanic babylon only to be understood by humans.

Note: God is now again repeating all the things He has spoken of to many messengers over the years that are to happen in the coming days ahead and of course... when He says in due time meaning in His Timing always. (not ours)

Babylonian systems are bought by us from the devil, but God's system is septenary.

Again.. everything in His Timing and everything is conditional depending on our response with prayers and sacrifices.

Note: Remember to God a thousand years can mean like a blink of an eye to Him. Again everything in His Timing. There are many other sentences in this message that are similar to what it says in Scripture.

There remains very few hours (His timing) to return to Me, to right your life.

Hours, minutes, seconds, tierces, etc... are in God septenary, but refactored by several septenary orders of magnitude more than in following example: http://the-light.com/cal/veseptimal.html, but are analogous to these placed in this example.

Finally, reconstruction of God's perfect septenary system is here: [2] it is so perfect, because for measuring of all only one unit-day and its septenary multiples/submultiples are sufficient for measuring all things. This God's perfection beats even the SI system! 83.5.73.108 13:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Here is enormous proof that division of units to 60 parts originated from the devil:

http://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu666.php

A cuneiform document, named "The tablet of the Essagil", today at Louvre, gives plans numbered of the zigurrat of the ancient city of Babylon. Here are the main measures: 60 60 60 the length, 60 60 60 the width in cubit sukum, and the height equal to the length and to the width (90 meters on each side). Therefore everywhere 60 60 60, reminding the number 666 of the Revelation.

Due to this, God's time units can be only and are factually based on perfect God's septenary principle and NOT on imperfect diabolical six-derived multiples such as 6,60,90,180,270,360,666,3600,6666 etc... God uses these multiples ONLY to describe certain group of us as replacement angels, due to present lack of fallen angels, that were organized in diabolic 6-related hierarchies.83.5.39.26 11:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2/3=.666?

This bugs me. It was used in the advertising of a recent movie starring Jim Carrey (I forget the name of the film), and every time I saw it I wanted to say, "You fools! It's closer to .667!" Dyfsunctional 20:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

The movie is called The Number 23. The protagonist believes that everything is somehow linked to this number... Alot of Illuminati stuff I think, though I haven't seen the movie. The date of the BRD's foundation (May 23) seems to be based on Satan as well, you know, 5 like "penta"-gramme, 2+3 = 5 , 2:3 = Highway To Hell ... Uhhh... That's all superstition... Mankind is so retarded... If only stupidity hurt... 1stLtLombardi 14:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I added a cleanup tag to the beginning of the article. There are some facts that may not belong in this context (may be better in Number of the beast), including those under "Trivia". There are also a few uncited facts in the article. --Adhall 16:03, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

please copy uncited sentences here. West Brom 4ever 11:54, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Picture

Can someone please get rid of that picture? It makes me uncomfortable.

I don't know if I should facepalm or laugh... Either you're a hexakosioihexekontahexaphobic, or you're trying to point out something rather ironic. Which one is it? 81.228.148.110 (talk) 19:58, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A different perspective on "666" in the New Age

I added this link, and now I am undoing its removal, because it was not a "SPAM" insertion, it explains a viewpoint sustained by thousand of people which consider that the divine can speak to humankind even in our days, through our hearts and minds, not only trough old texts and prophecies. Kryon is perhaps the most known and recognized channelled messenger from angelic beings, in the same way as many "orthodox" religious people consider "normal" to receive messages from angels or God through prophets in a byblical context. I think that no one who respect free expression can consider improper or intrusive this kind of fresh news in a so stuck and manipulative subject. Thank you for respecting this other viewpoint. Gco 06:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the link again. It is pure linkspam. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. It is not the task of an encyclopedia to "respect another viewpoint", when that other viewpoint is held only by a fringe minority. –Henning Makholm 01:30, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting of Removal of Image

It's ridiculous. You say people fear the numbers, and you put it there, big and large. Even I, not having the phobia, felt slightly uncomfortable. So please, get rid of it, and replace it with another picture, or jut keep it removed. Thank you.116.15.78.204 05:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I have to aggre here. If some one with Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia came here just to find out more about it they would not want to see a big 666. Ghostcar313 02:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

WP isn't censored. Carl.bunderson (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Are you serious? Come on now

The Nancy and Ronald Reagen example does not show that they are Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobes (even if they might be). Most people would try to get their address changed, why not? That is not a "prominent example" and it should be removed or most likely reworded to be a "possible example" at most.

~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 00:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Image

Omg guys! Theres a big massive fuck off 3 6s on the article. This is like when you had a massive picture of a tarantula on the aracnophobia page. Just use some sense.

Does the size of the object have anything to do with the fear level? The numbers "666" are found throughout the article, they're just shown bigger in the picture. If someone really does suffer from this, I doubt they'd even read the text. Completely different from arachnophobia (which does have a small picture of a spider), as that fear is of a physical object and not a series of letters and numbers. Rurik (talk) 22:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
