Barcodes have '666' built right in. The two thin bars are a six and normal barcodes have 6-some numbers-6-more numbers-6.
That's an urban legend:

That just shows you how tricky "The Evil One[tm]" is: he makes you /think/ that those extra bars at the beginning, middle, and end of a barcode are different from the symbol for six. He even puts a little white space on one side or another of the "real" sixes to make you think it's all just a little lark. I mean, come on: the real sixes have nice WHITE space next to them. Nothing SINister about that! Then again, think of what those extra bars are called: they're "guard bars."
Guarding who from what?
