Growing up, my phone number was 666-5920. I knew what the 666 meant (that the rapture would start in my town), but I had trouble with the rest of the number. The best I came up with is "KYB0" from the corresponding letters on a phone's number pad. According to answers.com, it means "Keep Your Bowels Open."

Yes. One thing that really gets me (besides all the rest) are these prophecy Bibles. I think twenty years or more ago, you could find more of them.
I think you get most of that kind of stuff now through ministries offering it. Though isn't there a LaHaye study Bible? Here it is: http://www.bestwebbuys.com/Prophecy_Study_Bible-ISBN_0899579515.html?isrc=b-search Published in 2001. Surely that means something.
