Mnemonic

Just imagine a beast with a lid for a head and fins for feet, running around looking as insane as possible (really imagine it!). When it runs up to you, it shows you the top of its lid-head. On it is written the numbers 666. Why? Because it's a spawn of the devil, and the number six is the devil's number.

Mnemonic

Whenever we need to remember the reading ろく we just use the word rock.
