“U.S. Route 491 (US 491) is a north-south U.S. Highway serving the Four Corners region of the United States. One of the newest designations in the U.S. Highway system, it was created in 2003 as a renumbering of U.S. Route 666. With the 666 designation, this road was given the nickname “Devil’s Highway” because of the common Christian belief that 666 is the Number of the Beast. This satanic connotation, combined with a high fatality rate along the New Mexico portion, convinced some people the highway was cursed. The problem was compounded with chronic sign theft. These factors led to two efforts to renumber the highway, first by Arizona, later by New Mexico.”—Wikipedia

File under: Movie plotlines for the 80s OMG OMG it would have been so cool!!!
(Like Flash Gordon, but with more immortal scientists, such as immortal Maxwell and immortal Faraday—who would also have provided for hilarious buddy-film interaction and unintentional homoerotic subtext. What a shame.)
