:evil:

It only comes along once a century so stay away from any black cats.

Anyway, while we're on the subject do any of you know of or follow any strange superstitious behavior that we'd find interesting?

[Phantasm]

lol. Well...initially I'd been slightly freaked out.Which is strange because I'm usually not superstitious at all.

Hey, today at 6 'o' clock, 6 minutes 6 seconds there'll be all 6s(including today's dd/mm/year).
I know of a superstition that ghosts will haunt at this moment of sixes:evil: . But I don't believe it neway!!:p

[Bubblegum Girl]

Hmm...Today looks like any other day...

No fire and brimstone, no demons running amuck, no Anti-Christ...:yawn:

I almost thought the world would end today....:sweat:

But then shouldn't world have ended in 6/6/1906?

[Gatomon41]

Just look out for Nero Cesar.

[Kury Wagner]

People 4660 years from now should be very worried. Double the sixes we have now; an impossible sweet score in Yahtzee.

Which is strange because I'm usually not superstitious at allI don't believe this at all.

I don't believe this at all.Stand on your head today, then it'll be 999. Problem solved.

[Weatherman]

Hheheheheh, yep.

Even before that, it should've ended in 6/6/6, two thousand years ago.

Not so much interesting as annoying, but Triskaidekaphobia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskaidekaphobia) is fear of the number 13.

If you notice, many old buildings don't even have a 13th floor because of that superstitious. Personally, I think it's kind of embarassing to be so afraid of that number that you'd label your floors 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and so on.

And for the record, fear of 666 is called Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia)

[Lord Dalek]

So does this mean I should stay far away from Danny Elfman?

[Bubblegum Girl]

So does this mean I should stay far away from Danny Elfman?

I dunno about that. But I've been listening to Rob Zombie & E Nomine just see what'll happen to me. :p

[Stewie]

There have been billboards and flyers up all around Chicago for a few months now that say
6-6-06 The signs are all around you.
I thought we had some friendly neighborhood crazy people. Turns out it was an ad campaign for The Omen (http://www.wbbm780.com/pages/27541.php).

[veemonjosh]

Well, in Japan, they celebrated at 6:6:6 AM by having the entire population eaten by Venommyotismon.

Have fun until he comes to where ever you live. ;)

[sdp]

all i know is that all metal cd's released today get -50 cool points.

[Zubby]

That goes doubly for the Omen remake. When all a movie has going for it is it's release date, that should be a very clear warning that the movie likely sucks. ANd guess what? It's at 26% on Rotten Tomatoes!

I think the year 06/06/666 would have been the worst. :p

I've heard of that actually, pretty crazy.

[ManicWebb]

OMG, today is 06/06/06! What do we do?!!!!!111six

Wait, nevermind. It's technically 06/06/2006. Disaster averted.

[Sr.Infierno]

Well I woke up this morning to a thunderstorm, so that didn't ease my fears that some heavy **** wouldn't be going down

[dth1971]

Remember when Proctor and Gamble products used to have the moon and stars logo until some legend that made it devilish when you connect all the dots to make 3 6's that after those rumors came in the mid 1980's the P&G moon and stars logo was dropped.

Also: 6/6/06 is the opening date of the remake of THE OMEN movie.

[FerrariCake]

Damn, my local theatre isn't playing The Omen. I really wanted to see it today, just for the sheer stupid novelty of it. "omg, I'm seeing a movie about the son of satan and it's 666! liek crazy!!1!1" =)
I should do something stupid today. Like fly a kite after the sun sets. Just something to say "I acted like an idiot on 666."

*checks over shoulder for Nero*

[Space Chief]

Actually, it's a pretty nice day. I celebrated it by rewatching the MST3K version of The Touch of Satan.

[Dark Fact]

I personally think this whole 6-6-6 thing is a bunch of hooey. People got to learn to get over this silly superstition and realize it's just a day like no other.

If you notice, many old buildings don't even have a 13th floor because of that superstitious. Personally, I think it's kind of embarassing to be so afraid of that number that you'd label your floors 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and so on.
It's not just old buildings. Even the new buildings omit the number 13 on their elevator buttons and floor signs near the stairway. Apparently, it's a strict rule in construction that no building 13 floors or higher should ever have the number 13 donned on that particular floor and should be replaced with the number 14. It's a really pathetic and useless rule since floor 14 is the number 13. These silly superstitions really need to be dropped.

[HeeHaw9]

OK, I woke up late, so I dressed quickly, and went to school with my shirt on bakwards. Today we had a whole free day, and a TON of parties, but I totally forgot I was supposed to bring salsa for science. I was forgiven. Then, after school, I wanted to talk to my freind Kim. I saw "her" IM name, and clicked on it, and, like a reflex, and decided to ask her, how hot is your boyfriend in shorts? (she brags about that all the time...). The IM person turned out to be her BF, who she lets me talk to. He was like, what?!(He blocked me.) Just a bad day or 666? Hmmmm......

[Elven Moon]

Today was any other day to me. No problems.

[Pupmon 4.0]

And to think, it will all be over within a few hours.

[90'sCartoonMan]

New buildings too? I suddenly have lost all hope in the progress of civilization.

[Alex Toon]

Guess today's not Judgement Day. Darn, and I had a party planned for the apocalypse.

[purplehairedwonder]

I still live... I guess that means the world isn't ending today. Amazing how things turn out, huh?

[Djm912]

It's a Tuesday.

Today was kind of a busy day at work. Not really worthy of repenting, but....eh.

[Timmay]

To celebrate 06/06/06 at 06:06:06 I listened to Iron Maiden - 666 The Number Of the Beast.

[Warrior Kitana]

Yeah, there was a lot of hype about 6-6-6. The pastor at my church believes that the "signs" are all there and judgement day is nearing. From what I remember there was much hype about 1999/2000 as well and people saying that the world was gonna end then. So much for that notion :shrug:

Today was actually a pleasant day. Sunny, hot, calm...just like any other day. To be honest I was a bit anxious about the whole 6-6-6 thing. But today, I mostly just stayed home and slept and watched TV most of the time. I listened to Prince's "1999". While not exactly 6-6-6 material, the song does capture the notion of an upcoming apocalapse/judgement day quite well.

[tucsoncoyote]

Well if anything could be compared to this, of all things it rained today in Tucson Arizona (And we had even a Severe Thunderstorm watch today till 8 pm this evening (hence why I am responding at 11:07 pm local time...

Other then that, nothing really notable.. and in fact if the weather is hot and humid (over 54 degree dewpoint), then this will be noted as the first day of "The Monsoon Season"* and it will be the earliest on record here in Tucson...

Talk about hell freezing over.. It was more like rained over...

*The Arizona Monsoon starts when there are 3 consecutive days of Dewpoints over 54 degrees F and if this happens for 3 days, then the first day of the temperature over 54 will be considered the "Start Date of the Monsoon" (Which if true would be 06/06/06, eclipsing the earliest monsoon which was in 2000 (June 17th..)

:coyote:

[ManicWebb]

Clear skies, warm sunshine, summer breeze. I had a pretty light workload, finished everything early, and my co-workers were all playing during the store's closing hours. Today was pretty fun.

What, did Satan take the day off?

[Tenku]

I dunno about that. But I've been listening to Rob Zombie & E Nomine just see what'll happen to me. :p

I knew I wasn't the only one. :anime:

It was yet another normal day; just hot.

[Kevin the Geek]

Nothing really bad happened to me yesterday (6-6-06).

In fact, yesterday turned out to be a good day (I woke up around 7:00 P.M.), as I spent the day watching the Powerpuff Girls DVD that I had just received in the mail that day, did some aerobics (It helps me lose weight), listened to some music, and used the internet.

[Speedy Boris]

Meh, it was actually a really good day for me yesterday- I bought a bunch of stuff and am almost finished with Crash Tag Team Racing. So much for superstitions.

[James]

Or maybe you are just inately evil.

[Zach]

I'll look for a story online, but I heard on the radio something about a child born at like 6 minutes after 6 and weighed 6 pounds, 6 ounces. May be a hoax or something, let me go look into it.

[veemonjosh]

I liked yesterday. Woke up after 5:00 AM, watched that show on Adult Swim with the pink dog, saw a little bit of Mr. T, watched the old Astro Boy (80's) episode "The Greatest Robot in the World Part 2" (Saw part one on Monday) and (for no real reason) an episode of Astro Boy (03') titled "Robot Boy". Then I went to my last day of school. Went on the internet, watched TV, watched Dragon Ball, posted in my blog, and went to bed.

And the only thing that gave off an evil theme was that my dad got a BIG gash on the side of his finger from one of our kittens.

However, I wish I had the Teen Titans season finale "The End" on a tape somewhere... Would've been nice.

[Fifi Fanatic]

I went to see "The Omen" right after work (good, but can't even come close to the original). And I partook of my annual June 6 tradition of watching "The Longest Day" afterwards. Nothing sinister about any of it.

Revelation says quite plainly that the Temple at Jerusalem will be rebuilt before the end. That hasn't even come close to happening yet. When that happens, then I'll start getting ready. But I'm not going to freak out over some really meaningless date on a calendar.

[Space Chief]

Well, in Japan, they celebrated at 6:6:6 AM by having the entire population eaten by Venommyotismon.

I just remembered specifically what you were referring to.

Between that and the whole talking crotch thing, I'm amazed that they let that on the air.

[Fan of Sponge]

Sorry that I'm a little late on this but there was actually an US Route called 666. It used to ran through Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. Unfortunately, the route was replaced back in 2004 in favor US 491. However, I do believe this was to curb sign theft of the supersitious number 666 and US 491 was more apporiate at the time since US 66 is no longer a US Route anymore.

[Speedy Boris]

Or maybe you are just inately evil. Oh THAT'S why a bleeding crucifix was hovering above my bed last night while I vomited green pea soup! I thought it was just gas.

[Kury Wagner]

[...] green pea soupThe kind with the teeny tiny ham chunks rocks muchly.

[Dark Fact]

New buildings too? I suddenly have lost all hope in the progress of civilization.
Here's some more interesting tidbits: in Japan, the number 4 is considered to be an unlucky number and every japanese building 4 floors or higher replaces the number 4 with the number 5 on their elevator buttons and stairways.

Meh, that's nothing. I was attacked by a cabbage that talked like Wilford Brimley, so I ate the cabbage.

[g_UnIt_GaNsTa]

I haven't been posting much because the world ended sorry everyone

[Jedah Dohma]

Just another boring summer day in my life. Nothing new happened with me (though my mom wanted to go see The Omen that night). :shrug:

[One Radical Dude]

It was just another uneventful day. Work, work, work... :p

[mikestorm]

So did the world end? I wasn't paying attention. Please let me know as I'd like to skip work today, and the apocalypse is an excuse I haven't used yet.

[Zinal]

Well......let see 2012.

[Dr. OneWay]

My friends birthday was 6/6/06, and she never showed up for school. When I called her that night, she was like "I was scared the earth was gonna crack open and the devil was going to drag me down to hell". Apparently, she stayed on the highest level of her home. :p
