KEARNEY, Mo. - You don't often hear of anyone asking to pay more to a government agency. But a church in Kearney did just that to avoid paying a $666 fee for a building permit.
At City Hall, they couldn't believe it when they first saw the number.

"I called my community development director and said ‘hey check this out!’ and he said ‘add that up again,'" recalled building inspector Chad Coffelt.

They did the math several times to make sure, but there was no mistake. The bill was correct; the church owed $666 for a permit to build a small addition.

1. It doesn't matter what they PAY. The bill itself is a sign from god that their church is satanic.

They must have chosen the wrong sect.

8. Childish superstitions

I used to believe in stuff like this, but then I had my 9th birthday.

The Wynne Encore hotel in Las Vegas doesn't have a 13th floor, or floors 40-49, since 4 is considered unlucky in some East Asian cultures.

People really need to grow up and stop worrying about 13, or 4, or 666, or stepping on cracks in the pavement, or black cats, etc.

10. What a bunch of ignorant fools.

Their superstition rivals those who thought the sun revolved around the earth and that comets were signs of the end of time.

11. Make two $333-dollar checks, then.

That solves the problem and balances the books.
