Tomorrow is 6-6-6...

[raiderrescuer]

Is there anyone superstitious and planning on not going out of the house tomorrow or maybe just the opposite and throwing a party ???

Me, it's my "Turn Around Day"...I'll get home at 7:30 PM tonight only to get up at 1:50 AM tomorrow to be at work at 3:00 AM until 11:00 AM. So I'll probably sleep through most of it.

And yes, I realize it's actually 06-06-2006.

It's more than that.

I think for most of us here, June 6th is forever, "D-Day." The rest is poppycock.

Well said.

Now that you mentioned it, it is kind of weird...but since I'm going to be vacationing at the beach and it's supposed to be beautiful weather out there...I'm going outside! Sadly to say, I'm superstitious...though I don't think even the mister know's just how much! ..full moon's make me a bit nervous still [huh]

 

[Pilgrim]

I'm just looking forward to reading about the "concerns" of people who don't have enough to do or enough perspective on the world. Some of them will surely be exorcised about it (pun intended).

 

[mysterygal]

Seriously though, nothing's going to happen...will be just like any other day. It will pass and those who got all worried and worked up about it will laugh at themselves

But it's 6606 tomorrow. 5940 beyond 666. Now if it were the year 6, then we'd have something to worry about ... wooooo, spooky

Come to think of it, it is supposed to be quite hot here tomorrow. All that brimstone, no doubt ...

Yeah Scotrace, for me too it's D-Day. Even when I 1st saw the Omen commercial all that registered was Omaha beach and such. The devil crap is just silly.

I live in Michigan, not too far from a small town called "Hell." The town, of course, is celebrating tomorrow. CNN even picked up on the story:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/06/03/hell.party.ap/index.html

I've been to Hell once, there's not much there. If I didn't have to work, and I had never been, perhaps I'd pay them a visit...

 

[J. M. Stovall]

Gee, I wonder if Satan goes by the Roman Calendar? Even though he is eons old he probably likes to keep up to date with such things. He must also have one hell of an administrative assistant.

Actually, I believe Bible scholars now tend to think that the number is not really 666 but 616. So he would have been keeping an eye out on the first of the month...

 

[J. M. Stovall]

I'm sure his assistant was aware of that. I didn't get the memo.

And I guess that would also depend on how you arrange that date. Doesn't America display the month and day opposite from Europe? So that would have been January 6.

666 as a superstition doesn't really mean much, although I'm with you Mysterygal on the full moon thing. Definitely spooooky out there! I tend to walk under ladders, step on cracks in the pavement, but I admit that my exam table number was 13 the last time, and I'm waiting with baited breath for the result.

It's my day off, and I'll be watching The Longest Day on DVD.

I'm calling in sick,....

.....to go on a witch hunt. lol

Does it ever get really cold there? 'Cause if Hell ever freezes over, a lot of people are gonna have to do things they don't want to! ("Hell will freeze over before I visit your mother's place again!" "Hell will freeze over before I shop at that store again!" etc) lol

 

[Matthew Dalton]

I recall hearing that "666" was a mistranslation of "777" although I really wouldn't know anything about that.

Very Funny.

 

[ortega76]

I'm "celebrating" by going to see the re-make of The Omen (I loved the original plus the movie theatre has quarter popcorn! After all these years, the smell of popcorn and a movie playing in the dark makes me feel like I'm a child again- sitting in the theatre with my father and brothers.

I was (and still am in private) a "metal-head" so I'll be cranking heavy metal all day. Mostly just for grins.

Tomorrow is D-Day...

'nuff said!

But just for the sake of argument, why isn't it actually 6606? Or 060606? And wasn't there a 66 in 1906? If we use only one digit to denote the year, what about June 6th 1996? See the point? As someone else said, it's all poppycock. Which I think is a nicer word that the one I would use which is frequently abbreviated "bs."
