Authorities have told a motorcyclist in southern Sweden to change his number plate after the current “666” registration was deemed to be too offensive.
(...)
The number combination of 666 may be offensive to some,” wrote the agency in a letter to the man.
“The Swedish Transport Agency therefore has decided that you may you are no longer entitled to these personal number plates.”
The number 666 represents the antichrist or the devil in popular culture and is sometimes referred to as “the number of the beast”.
Some people take the number so seriously that they actively avoid it, a fear which is known as Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
