I had to do a presentation at work on that Tuesday and it went splendid. I was laughing all day at all the numerologically challenged christians who were covering in fear for that entire day. I just couldn’t stop smiling.

Disregarding the completely arbitary selection of this date and the fact that the bible says absolutely nothing about 666 having any relation to a date whatsoever, the 666 in itself was also an early mistranslation of the bible. Maybe an accident, maybe on purpose because three of the same numbers in a row look a lot more ominous. The actual number of the beast in the bible is 616. Everything else is urban legends and popular fiction. Like the water in the sink running in different directions depending on what hemisphere you’re on.

But according to their logic, apparently the clammy hand of the beast moves with timezones too, right? So it’s a bad day starting in Australia and then the influence of the Beast moves around with the sun until it hits the USA some 18 hours later.

Even disregarding the fact that they counted jesus’ birthday wrong and the 6/6/6 date actually happened a couple years ago, who could possibly believe something as stupid as that?

It’s a little appreciated historical fact that the number of the Beast originated when Belle asked how to contact him after their first date. Back then there were a LOT fewer phones in use, so the numbers were still all just three digits. By coincidence his number was 666 *and* the local church elders were bloody well ticked at him for the “enchantments” of his entire staff.

This guy was born on 06/06/06. In 1906, that is. He was apparently not the Antichrist, but led an interesting life anyway.

Let’s see if I have this right: 666 is the beatsy boys number, 7(in numerology) is the number of the prophet, 13 sat at the last supper, saying something 3 times means “PAY ATTENTION”, and 1 ” is the loneliest number that you’ll ever know,,,”, but there are left an infinite number of numbers unaccounted for,,,Gee, isn’t it cool that these numbers are so important? I guess it’s because that’s about as high as most religious fundementalists can count, then they run out of fingers, toes and imagination,,,

So apparently when I got those error messages, something to the effect of, “you can’t alter the heading…” the posts actually appeared.

My apologies for the triplicate posts. Feel free to delete 2 of them if anyone with the “power” wishes to.

At 66 minutes past 6 PM yesterday, a comet fragment hit my neighbour’s pond. The resulting impact generated tsunami may have swamped a frog that was floating near the edge of the pool.

Or maybe his kid threw a small rock in the pond. I’m not sure, but crop circles lately have indicated a dearth of frogs, and I’m certain my neighbour’s kid is The Beast.

Most people who fear the Number of The Beast don’t even really comprehend what the number is. I’ve occasionally had people tell they were worried over such numbers as 0.666, 6.66, etc. I have to point out that there is supposedly a “number” of The Beast, not a “digit string” of The Beast.
