06/06/06 that is. Found an interesting article concerning the number 666 and it's history. http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/...g/14701511.htm

Just another date.

Looks like the film's marketing gurus will miss their ominous release by five days." I would think more people would be afraid of Friday the 13th's(Triskaidekaphobia,) since these are more common in a calendar year.

Airplane banners reading "You Have Been Warned" flew over popular spring break destinations, prompting frightened calls to 911 dispatchers and the FBI.

^My favorite part of the article.. made me laugh.

Anyway that whole article is pretty good, I especially love how people are really superstitious.. its just a freaking number.

To me it's just another day. I can't believe many ppl believe something will happen or that it's the end of the world. Unless I've been duped into thinking they think that...

Feed it off an ox, speak, grunt, no strength
The ladder start to clatter with a fear, fight down height
Wire in a fire representing seven games
And a government for hire at a combat site
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies
Breathing down your neck
Team by team reporters, baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine then
Uh-oh, overflow population, common food
But it'll do to save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat
Dummy with a rapture and the reverend and the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

Six o'clock T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return. listen to yourself churn
Lock it in, uniforming, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh
This means no fear cavalier, renegade, steer clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions and offer me alternatives, and I decline

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine, I fee fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, bug net, right, right

It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
(It's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it
It's the, it's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end....

AHHHHHH! 666, MARK OF THE BEAST!

I'M FREAKIN OUT!

Ha. Welcome to Tuesday, everyone.

[2.2 Straight six]

i love that REM song...


it's been the day of the devil for over 13hours here, when am i to expect the action?

[highteknology]

the djs on the radio were sayin how there was a site out there that will allow people to bet on whether the apocolypse is here or not. it had some ridiculous odds. something like 100:1. they also mentioned that if you were to bet that the world will survive then with a $500 bet you can win half a cent. if the apocolypse happens and you bet $100 you win a nice 10 grand or somethin like that. only problem, if you win on the apocolypse chance, how will you get your money, and how will you get to spend it?

i think it's funny how a bunch of people are supersticious, this date happens every 100 years and the world is still here. who woulda thunk??

edit: another thing about this whole 666 thing, the date is 6/6/06. we say, "Six Six OH Six" not "today's date is Six Six Six" people are taking it way too far. sorry i'm startin to rant now.

fucking godlike. If there was a god. Thank you. I'm going to disturb the peace now. Driving downtown blasting "south of heaven" should do it.

On second thought, I think "god hates us all" would be more fitting.

predicted UN bombing this weekend. According to some scholars. Because it's not 616 or 666...it's 10 6's or something like that. I couldnt catch all the details cause my radio was scratchy and well, too many details but we'll see.

[ghostrx7]

i wish something would happen, im bored at work...................need some action!

Well whoever schedules MLB games must have a sense of humor because tonight it's the Tampa Bay Devil Rays vs. Los Angeles Angels...
