Some idiot congressman in Indiana wants legislation to change the number of Interstate 69 because it sounds immoral.

Is there no end to the insanity of these wingnut imbeciles?

16. Highway 666

sLocation: Southern Western Slope
Length: 1927-1970: 26mi; 1970-2003: 69.60mi*
S End: New Mexico border south of Cortez (link to Steve Riner's site)
N End: 1928-1970: Cortez; 1970-2003: Utah border northwest of Dove Creek

Roadway Names: Devil's Highway. Yes, it's actually been referred to as such in the media.

History:
In the first 1926 US Highway plan, what is now US 491 from New Mexico to Cortez was numbered US 560, and from Cortez to Utah was numbered US 450. But by the time the plan was implemented in 1927 US 560 was renumbered to US 666, and by 1934 US 450 had been deleted and taken over by an extended US 160. US 666 was paved by 1939. US 666 had its north end at Cortez all the way up to the end of 1970, when US 160 was shifted to its current route and US 666 was extended northwest to Utah. US 666 was renumbered in its entirety to US 491 in summer 2003 as a result of New Mexico campaigning to improve conditions of the highway and its image.

25. So they already fixed that 666 problem!

Thanks for the info. I didn't know about this. Came through that area in October 2001, so the sign wasn't up yet, of course. Hope the road improvements were done, as well. Good that there are those who would keep us on the straight and narrow, but those potholes can be hell!

5. Oh Jesus Christ.

We should just get rid of the numbers 6, 9, 69, 420, and 666, since they're all evil numbers. THEY'RE THE WORK OF THE DEVIL!!!

:eyes:

F-ing idiot. I really hate fundie christians. They're getting waaaaaaaay out of line.

6. Just what the legislature should be spending time on

I'm sure there isn't anything else more improtant to worry about. What a dumbass.

[scarletwoman]

7. What will we tell the children?

Seriously, can you imagine the fun of explaining to the kiddies why the highway number needs to be changed? :eyes:

9. Truly embarassing confession

He also was arrested last summer for trying to board a Plane with a handgun.

He is demented

[zbdent]

21. Isn't that a felony for non-repukes?

Just asking . . .

I remember a Clear Channel dim bulb bragging during a layover about bringing a knife (concealed inside his belt) through security and being able to fly to the layover airport.

Did anything come of that idjit?

[noiretextatique]

17. I Had A Public Gradeschool Teacher Who Was All Worked Up When

I painted a bottle of wine, vintage "69".

The year was 1969. She kept insisting that I change the vintage to "68", or "67".

I was simply intrigued with the Ying-Yang shape of the date. I had no idea what was bugging her. But I knew she was being weird, and it wasn't because I was painting a bottle of wine. So I stood my ground and insisted that "69" was just fine. We went around and around, and I ended up taking vintage "69" home.

I'll be smiling about that (and a lot of other things) on my death bed.

18. Where can I get one of those buttons, my 21 yr old would make a hit

at college with that. He would wear it with pride, I am sure.

23. I-75 in Michigan

I wonder what he'd think of exit 69 being Big Beaver Road. That road sign makes me smile every time I pass it.
