Tool of the day

Unfortunately not. I'm part of a pilot group on Facebook and about once a month someone explains how they asked for a different code because ATC assigned them one with 666.
While I think the idea of a superstitious pilot is laughable, the posts usually have dozens of comments from other pilots saying they do the same thing. Makes me wonder if the accept a clearances to 13,000 feet.

Not really frightening, it's all legal. One official state marriage (taxes), the rest are just church weddings. Same ballpark as swinging IMO, not really my cup of tea, but whatever makes consenting adults happy.
The subject even came up because over the course of the trip my military experiences were discussed, including socializing with the (multiple) wives of arab dignitaries.

Apparently the higher ups there are superstitious too.

Same goes for hotels with a 13th floor. News flash, the 14th is the 13th!

Seems almost delusional to me, but whatever, the guy was fine to fly with otherwise!

A few years ago we were assigned a squawk code with a 666 in it..the captain asked me to request a different one. I thought he was joking, but then it became clear he was serious. I told him if it bothered him that much, he could request a new code himself. And he did!
