NOTHING will happen JUNE 6

Everybody is saying "watch out for June 6"!!!!! That's 06/06/06 !!!!! Loonatics are saying that's DOOMS DAY. 666 is the "Mark of the BEAST", blah blah blah...

Skeptics know better. Christians (REAL Christians) do too.

DON'T BELIEVE what the kooks are saying about this date. It is only a day like any other. Bird Flu, global warming, earthquakes, tital wave, Iranian missle development, are ALL BUNK.

It is NOT the end of the world.

DON'T BELIEVE IT!

[WildCat]

June 6 is the day everyone totally copies REO Speedwagon.

[American]

June 6 is the day everyone totally copies REO Speedwagon.

This is SERIOUS. People are scared over nothing.

It is completely STUPID, because nothing is going to happen that day!!!

[TV's Frank]

If something catastrophic happens that day, can I please walk into your home and laugh at you, American?

[American]

If something catastrophic happens that day, can I please walk into your home and laugh at you, American?

Tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW not to worry, because that's NOT going to happen.

It WON'T.

[Metullus]

June 6 is my birthday. I will be calling you.

All of you.

[DRBUZZ0]

It's also my friend's birthday...

[Whydoe]

You know, I'm actually very surprised hollywood hasn't jumped all over this date. Oops, never mind. I think this is when "The Omen" comes out. Whoopee! Satan is so awesome!

[Desktop Icon]

Actually, quite a few things WILL happen on June 6th. A lot of rather typical, mundane things.

Approximately 155,000 people worldwide will die. There will be assorted bad storms here and there. Some sort of governmental or financial scandal -- either large or small -- will come to light. Many people will pay good money to see a bad movie or buy a bad CD. Off in the distance, a lone dog will bark.

But remember, civilization does not actually have to come to a halt on the 6th in order for the doomsayers to score a hit. On June 7th they'll simply announce that something did occur, something that will eventually cause the end of society.

Personally, I think they'll probably be right, and it will all have something to do with that bad CD.

[Metullus]

It's also my friend's birthday...
You have a friend? Wow...

[hellaeon]

National Slayer Day! I might just crank hell awaits all day! Im here satan! take me!

[Whydoe]

I think you are right. June 6th is a release day for new cds. New Cheap Trick album and A.F.I. Sounds like doom to me. BTW, Slayer's "God Hates Us All" cd came out 9/11/01. Oooooh.....

[Aussie Thinker]

So the Chinese are safe... it is not 6/6/6 for them

[Operaider]

Something will happen, I'm sure of it.

Cause something always happens

Every day of the year.

Only this time it will get extra attention due to the date it occurred on.

This is of course assuming that none of the psychics predict horrors on that day.

If they predict something bad will happen

It inexplicably wont

No one knows why

Least of all the psychics

[LostAngeles]

My school is holding its graduation that day.

There's something. A cluster of educated people, many of whom are then transferring into the UC or CSU system to get more education.

Oh! Did I mention this school tends to serve the minority, the poor, and the non-traditional student population?

YOU'RE ALL DOOMED!

[Regnad Kcin]

Now where did I put all my Y2K survival supplies? Let's see...

[Hydrogen Cyanide]

I checked my calendar. There is nothing scheduled for that day.

Unless, of course, the dentist gets another emergency and my son's appointment gets pushed out another week. (today a kid fell on her face and broke her front teeth, so my son's appointment was postponed by a week).

[Doubt]

June 6 is my birthday. I will be calling you.

All of you.

I always thought you were the anti-christ.

Now you almost, kind of, sort of, indirectly, just about admited it.

[orphia nay]

:) Yep. Good post, Desktop Icon.

While I agree that 'nothing will happen' that will mean the end of the world, 'something' will happen out of which woos will make a big deal.

I think we can safely predict a few things:

A bomb will go off somewhere. (I sarcastically predicted the same thing for 5/5/05 at a woo forum I used to go to, and when I was proved right, someone said I probably had powers. :rolleyes: )

Someone famous will die.

A number of people will be killed by violence in Iraq.

[cgordon]

I arrive in Austin, TX, on June 6 ...

And depart on June 13.

Woooooooo ...

[Darat]

The remake of the Omen is released over here in the UK on 6/6/6 according to the adverts.

[Old man]

I just checked my appointment calendar, and oddly enough, I'm planning to be at a 'gentlemen's club' then.

What better place to be when I turn into a slavering, sex-crazed demon, with the power to control women's minds?

Or, for that matter when the world ends?

Or doesn't...

Something WILL happen on June 6. The second volume of The Time Tunnel comes out on DVD!!

[Hutch]

And for a rapidly dwindling number of men, June 6th will remind them of the day 62 years ago that the stormed the Beaches of Normandy--D-Day.

[Doubt]

Something will happen on June 6th.

It may just be the rising sun, but it will happen.

[/lame joke mode]

[Curnir]

6 of june is the Swedish National holiday.

Commemorating june 6th 1523 when Gustaf Wasa was elected king of sweden.

A mighty symbol for the ousting of the Danish tyrants/invaders.

But 2006-06-06 = ending of the world?

Nah.

[Ryan O'Dine]

I'm still waiting to find out what ended the world at 01:02:03 am on 04/05/06.

[ImaginalDisc]

You might be right, but at the cellular level, we'll all be quite busy.

[Kiwiwriter]

Actually, the most important thing for June 6 is that it will be the 62nd anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy in World War II, known as D-Day.

And I think anyone who lives in freedom should remember D-Day and the lives expended that day in defense of freedom and to liberate a continent and return it to its rightful owners. Andy Rooney called D-Day one of the most "unselfish acts in history," and when I think of the Allied dead from 15 countries, I think he's right.

[Hellbound]

I'm still waiting to find out what ended the world at 01:02:03 am on 04/05/06.

That was me. I ate a burrito.

It gave me gas.

That little touch of added methane was the final straw that sent our environemnt into an irreversible downhill slide. In another 100 years Earth will be a desert planet, and we'll all be dead.

But it was a good burrito.

[Hydrogen Cyanide]

So what happened on June 6, 1960? Or even June 6, 1906 (1806... and on down the line)?

Well, I am glad there is (so far) nothing on my calendar on the 6th of June this year. I might be able to get something done. Something that would be facilitated by me logging off of the forum for a while!

[The_Fire]

A mighty symbol for the ousting of the Danish tyrants/invaders.


What? You thought we left?

[JollyRoger]

ALL LIES ALL LIES something will happen it will it Will


everybody is gona be vary disappointed that nothing happened

[Starthinker]

I get paid on 06/06/06. Strangely enough, it's also the day the portal to hell in my basement is scheduled to open again. But it opens once or twice a year, I see no reason why this time will be different.

Nothing at all? Like we'll all be frozen in stasis or something? Wow, man! Like WOW!

[ImaginalDisc]

Skeptics get tanks? Why didn't I get that memo? More importantly, why didn't I get my tank?

[Curnir]

Well....

At least Gustav Wasa did.

x-nay on the candinavian-say orld-way onquering-cay onspiracy-cay. ;)

[Starthinker]

By the way, I thought an air traffic controller in France predicted 5/25 would be the end of the world when a comet hits the Atlantic as verified by crop circles.

Oh, and I have no septic, it's an actual PORTAL TO HELL.

[Hellbound]

How much does that save you on heating bills? I might have to look at getting one myself.

[senorpogo]

I made this point before on another thread, but don't these doomsayers know that the number of the beast is 666? Not 6606 or 6062006 or 662006. Whoopie, a collection of numbers contain three sixes.

[alfaniner]

... That's 06/06/06 !!!!! Loonatics are saying that's DOOMS DAY.

Is that Month/Day/Year or Day/Month/Year? It makes a big difference ya know!

[Curnir]

If the world didn't end at Kevin Federlines birthday (21st of march) it won't end at the 6th of june

-----------------
21 - 3 = 18
6 + 6 + 6 = 18
-----------------
even worse.
He was born 1978
19 + 7 - 8 = 18

hey, it's just about as logical as the rest of the stuff the woos spout :)

----------------
Oh and don't ask me how I know this.
The answers to that question frightens even me.

[Starthinker]

How much does that save you on heating bills? I might have to look at getting one myself.

Oddly enough, it sucks the heat from the house so it has a cooling effect. It's the demons I can't stand.

[BenK]

With the big tsunami coming tomorrow June 6 will be the least of our worries ;)

[Bikewer]

Fortunately, living in the "middle" I should be immune to the effects of the Tsunami. Has to top the Rockies, I'd imagine.

And I'm gratified to learn that June 6 will be relatively safe, as Half-Life 2 Episode One is available on June 1.

[JLam]

On 6/6 I'll be flying from L.A. to Miami and then Miami to Jamaica.

If I die in a plane crash, then the doomsayers were right.

[VoloVersio]

Many baseball fans suggested that there might’ve been an astrological connection when the Boston Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years on the night of a lunar eclipse. It turns out they were right. The connection was that they happened on the same night. Spooky ****.

[ImaginalDisc]

On 6/6 I'll be flying from L.A. to Miami and then Miami to Jamaica.

Is it a layover, or will you be in town long enough to watch our local news and cringe over the sensationalism?

[elaine]

On June 6th, I have a dentist appointment.

[Manny]

Oddly enough, it sucks the heat from the house so it has a cooling effect. It's the demons I can't stand.So I guess that aprocyphal test taker's love interest finally slept with him.

My son graduates that day also, and will be moving on to UC Davis, so it will be the last day I will be able to afford real food.

[Beleth]

The remake of the Omen is released over here in the UK on 6/6/6 according to the adverts.
Yeah, but that's in European date-writing style.

Here in America it's...

um...

never mind.

Actually, June 6 is the start of 3 very bad days.


For the Detroit Tigers. ;)

[Metullus]

I am. It's a job like any other. Nice perks, though.

[American]

We are only 2 days away from NOTHING HAPPENING!!!!

DON'T PANIC!

DON'T.

[KevinM]

Well at about 5 pm est I will go see the Omen at a local thearter(its also US opening night). Why because taht way at 6 pm on 6-06-06 I will be in a thearter seeing The Omen. This strikes me as personally amusing and I happen to like horror movies. The problem the nuts who think some thing magical will happen have is that according to the bible(and frankly with out the bible who would care about 666) 666 is the number of the name of a man. For that matter the bible also says that NO ONE not even the angels in heaven no the day or the time of the end. If the angels don't even know how can people?

More fundamentally since the world has already weathered June 6 of 1666, 1006, 1906, 1966, and survived the entire year of 666 we should probably be ok. If I"m wrong please feel free to look me up in Heaven(or Hell as the case may be) :)

[Starthinker]

So I guess that aprocyphal test taker's love interest finally slept with him.

I do not get this. Who slept with whom?

[Mark A. Siefert]

Tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW not to worry, because that's NOT going to happen.

It WON'T.

What do you mean NOTHING is going to happen this Tuesday? I'll get up. Go to work. Then go to my local game store and spend the rest of the day with my friends, go home, and go to bed.

Lots of things are going to happen Tuesday.

[Ausmerican]

On 06/06/06 Elton John will release his new CD of REO Speedwagon covers.

There is a real city in MI named Hell, and they are celebrating June 6.

No matter what your belief system, you could say with all sincerity that you are going to Hell if you had the time and inclination to travel there.

Oh Damn I forgot to do my 666 shopping again this year, I bet the shopping malls with be full of us guy who put off purchasing gift for, who ever it is you purchase gifts for, sure hounds of hell are easy, studded collars, but what for Beelzebub himself? Any ya all know what happens if the gift isn't worthy, not just no sex for a week, your thing falls off. I sure hate it when that happens.

[xenxabar]

I'm looking forward to the 6th because I scheduled lunch at an all you can eat sushi place with a bunch of my cow-orkers. I didn't even realize what the day was until another cow-orker told me.

[BenK]

STOP spreading fear and HATE!

STOP IT!!!!!!!

Perhaps you're just trying to lull everyone into a false sense of security, which is exactly what the antichrist would do. :eek:

[tsig]

I get paid on 06/06/06. Strangely enough, it's also the day the portal to hell in my basement is scheduled to open again. But it opens once or twice a year, I see no reason why this time will be different.

Happens to you too? I just thought the plumbing was backing up.

Is there any way to tap hell's energy and have the true House Powered From Hell?

[Filippo Lippi]

Cow-orker?

Some sort of bovine/killer whale cross?

It's GM gone mad

[geoman]

Cow-orker?

This works OK if you cross a friesian with a killer whale, the black & white patches line up fine. But don't try with a Jersey or any other of those brown cows!

....It's June 6, 2006 across the International Date Line, and everything's quiet on Guam, New Zealand, and Saipan, as usual.

I guess nothing's happening. I'm going to write a strong letter of protest! Who's in charge of Bible curses? :D

[Manny]

I do not get this. Who slept with whom?If hell removes heat from your house rather than radiating heat into it we can conclude that hell is endothermic (http://www.snopes.com/college/exam/hell.asp).

[J. Arthur Hastur]

My friend in Australia called to let me know that despite the world having ended, you can still get cell phonce reception.

[Bronze Dog]

If nothing happens, I'm fine.

If the world ends, I'll be spending eternity away from the fundies.

Win-win for me.

[Yahya Sulaiman]

DON'T BELIEVE what the kooks are saying about this date. It is only a day like any other...It is NOT the end of the world.

Au contraire...It's the day the remake of The Omen comes out. That's the end of the world, all right.

:D

[Yahya Sulaiman]

By the way, I think the oldest manuscripts of Revelation 13:18 read "six-hundred-and-sixteen", not "six-hundred-and-sixty-six". Some think it's a gematric way of referring to Nero Caesar, because gematrically if you spelled his name one way (Nero) and add up the value it would equal 616, and if you spelled it the other way (Neron) and added it up you'd get 666.

[demonologist]

It's dangerous to think like this. Something very well could happen. Not paranormal but something man-made. After all, it was not a coincidence that something bad happened on 9/11. Man knows that some other man is scared of the numbers 666. That man can use this knowledge to do harm to the other man he doesn't like.

[Gargoyle]

WHAT KIND OF APOCALYPSE IS THIS!!?? The phones work?? :jaw-dropp
It´s getting worse every year!! :mad:

There is no FEAR into it anymore! In the middle ages it was FIRE and BRIMSTONE and ENTUSIASM!!

Phones work... oh dear :nope:

[The_Fire]

Actually something will happen akin to the apocalypse around here:
I'm starting a halfway-exam on my webintergrator education......
"Write up a paper on something IT-related in a week, then defend it." is all I've got so far. The details I'm getting tomorrow.....6-6-06.......

I guessing that you believe it's dangerous to think in general...

Face it, nothing apocalyptic will happen on June 6, 2006 in the US or is happening on 6/6/2006 in the rest of the world. Jesus is not coming over the event horizon...

As T.S. Eliot put it, the world will end not with a bang but a whimper...

[wilzoid]

just in case, I think I will take the family out for sushi tonight one last time...as good an excuse as any, I suppose.

[dbschlosser]

Someone told me at Skeptic conference this weekend that 666 was a mistranslation and the real number is 293. According to my friendly Google search, the only thing that happened on 2/9/03 is this:

Born: Georg Trexler, composer

Also: On February 9, 1903, the Dockton Post Office opens. Albert Nilsen is appointed the first postmaster. Mail is distributed from a small store located on a pier. In 1987 the post office closes. Dockton is located 18 miles south of Seattle on Maury Island (Puget Sound) near the east shore of Quartermaster Harbor.

[Meffy]

Ah, but regard the clues hidden within those seemingly innocent factoids. If we anagram "Trexler Dockton Nilsen" we get "Norton Rex clinked lots," an obvious reference to Emperor Norton I (http://www.sfmuseum.org/hist1/norton.html) proving that he in fact possessed untold wealth in gold ("clink") while seeming to be penniless. Could Emperor Norton have been one of the Illuminati? Does the Harbor Quartermaster know? How can the truth be extracted from him?

[edit] Oops, that's an anagram of "Trexler Dockton NilsOn"... erm... must be the original record was wrong. *nodnod*

[H3LL]

On June 6th, I have a dentist appointment.

Is it at 2:30?

Lucky it isn't at 6:66...no...wait....erm...

.

[exarch]

I made this point before on another thread, but don't these doomsayers know that the number of the beast is 666?
I thought archaeologists found a piece of papyrus somewhere that still had another (perhaps the original) number of the beast on it, and it wasn't 666, it (http://www.csad.ox.ac.uk/POxy/beast616.htm) was (http://www.merriampark.com/numbeast.htm) 616 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast_(numerology))?

[Huntster]

Let's see..............

I'll bet there are gangs of folks around here that think the sky is falling due to "global warming", but it's just not going to happen tomorrow, because they don't believe in God or "666"?

Lots of "Chicken Littles" out there. Just different ideologies..............

[elaine]

Is it at 2:30?

Lucky it isn't at 6:66...no...wait....erm...

No. It's at 3:33, so it's only half the evil potential

At least global warming involves taking verifiable measurements of reality.

Don't know enough about the issue to know if those measurements support the conclusions, but it's off to a much better start than Chicken Little.

I'm still cutting down on my emissions at least, since I'm rather unfond of smog and such.

[Huntster]

At least global warming involves taking verifiable measurements of reality.

Sure. We know it's happened before.

We also know there were no people around then to cause it.

Don't know enough about the issue to know if those measurements support the conclusions, but it's off to a much better start than Chicken Little.

If you're running around before anything is confirmed bleating that the sky is falling because of human induced global warming, you're Chicken Little.

We don't have smog here.

Demons are roaming the streets here, and they're skewering all the unbelievers. I've already packed some rations and a gun, and plan to go down fighting.

I can hear them clawing their way up the stairs now. Goodbye everyone, this may be the last you ever hear from me ...

[Bronze Dog]

Sure. We know it's happened before.

We also know there were no people around then to cause it.
Straw man: I don't think anyone here will argue that GW can ONLY be caused by humans.

If you're running around before anything is confirmed bleating that the sky is falling because of human induced global warming, you're Chicken Little.
Depends on your definition of "confirmed." Also, being cautious is fine. I don't think cutting down on my driving, looking at hybrids, and voting for apparently sound environmental measures qualifies as "Chicken Little."

We don't have smog here.
Same here, locally. I hope to keep it that way.

Sorry. You're quite right. Bleating sounded good at the moment.

Clucking. Yeah. That sounds just as good.

[case sensitive]

I looked out again and realised it was night. So mabye, just maybe the world has not ended yet. But any minute now. Wait for it... Wait for it...

[exarch]

This is the demon Garranoth, it seems exarch has vanished out the back window. But just to spite him, I'm going to make him look like a real slob and turn his appartment into a pig stye and throw all his dirty laundry around and leave empty beer bottles all over the place. Because I am evil.

And I don't care about breaking forum rules that says you can't post using someone else's handle, because I work for Satan dammit.

Now bow before me and grovel in fear, you maggots!! :mad:

Perhaps not, but there likely are some who would argue that today's global warming is caused by humans.

If you're running around before anything is confirmed bleating that the sky is falling because of human induced global warming, you're Chicken Little.

It's very similar to the definition of the word "is".

Having trouble with it?

Also, being cautious is fine. I don't think cutting down on my driving, looking at hybrids, and voting for apparently sound environmental measures qualifies as "Chicken Little."

Nor do I.

But if somebody tells me that I have to do so, we're gonna have problems.

Further, when the environmental community fights any oil development whatsoever, even in the National Petroleum Reserve, while fuel prices skyrocket and supply dwindles, all in the name of global warming, I have a problem with them.

:jaw-dropp I thought archaeologists found a piece of papyrus somewhere that still had another (perhaps the original) number of the beast on it, and it wasn't 666, it (http://www.csad.ox.ac.uk/POxy/beast616.htm) was (http://www.merriampark.com/numbeast.htm) 616 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast_(numerology))?

Oh, so the neighbor of the beast is 618 not 668.:jaw-dropp

[Hindmost]

I gave a physics problem where the answer was 6.6 x10^6. I was informed by a student that it was an evil answer. I told the student to convert the units from meters to feet. So, don't worry, the world is safe now.

There are sirens blazing, zombies walking around, we have no guns. Please, god, save us.

Here, it is raining this morning, June 6, and it is very cold. Just like it has been the last few days, because it's winter here. Since we have had a very long dry spell recently and the earth had been cracking to dust, this soaking comes as a welcome change. The grass will need mowing a few days after the sun returns. Our dams have run down very low - the lowest since they were first made. With any luck, we will get a few percent up there, and be able to face a few more months without even more severe water restrictions. Although I think the idea of desalination plants makes a lot of sense these days - don't you?

Today I have a day off work, so I will be going to our computer museum storage facility to take some photos of the artifacts for our new improved website. Then I will come home and do some more Photoshopping and website updates with them. And tonight, I think it's my turn to cook dinner - lamb roast, I think. Then I will watch CSI New York with a glass of wine, and maybe post here again.

Yes, it's certainly the apocalypse...

Oh, and sirens, zombies, and no guns. As usual. Can't have Melbourne getting the better of us! ;)

[Metullus]

I feel the change a comin'...

[digithead]

Luckily we have guns here in the lovely Palouse region of Washington State, lots of guns...

But since I don't happen to own any myself, you Aussies can keep the zombies for yourselves...

[Hutch]

Nah, just Australian Soccer Fans...

How much does that save you on heating bills? I might have to look at getting one myself.
Heyyy -- is this on topic?

Discuss aspects of the paranormal here, as well as general questions and comments on things septical
Oh. Righty, guess it is. Never mind!

[Silly Green Monkey]

Sounds like something will happen...A Dutch (http://http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5049516.stm) organization has organized a worldwide mass Christian prayer fest, described as 'violent'. I'm scared.

So, next year, when the numerology favors God (for those who think the number of God is 777), will anyone expect signs and miracles?

[Meffy]

Anyone receiving a true vision of 777 on a slot machine may expect to see a miraculous shower of riches. No matter what the date.

[Bronze Dog]

On 07/07/07, lots of casino tokens will rain from the heavens and crush us.

ETA: Wow. Great minds.

[joller]

I'm sure there are some prayers organized today, where the believers ask god to please postpone the end of the world..

The prayers will be succesful, since the world will not end, and it will be widely given as a proof that prayer works.

[American]

Good idea. At least until quarter past midnight tomorrow here in America, the main place where time and date matters for the most part... I won't feel totally safe until then.


Still, I'm really mad at people for trying to scare us this way. I KNEW nothing would happen, and now I am going to pray for things to stay that way.

Something else happened on June 6 once upon a time... Now what the heck was it??

Oh yes...

[SirPhilip]

You thick-headed unbelievers never cease to irritate me. My sister's 18'th birthday is June 6'th - we're going to have a financial disaster when she gets the credit cards for the day. Of course, this was predicted in the Bible two-thousand years ago. It's true. :)

[Tarot_Is_A_Card_Game!]

Every century has an "06" year. This century is no exception. If there's anything meaningful about 666, something should have happened in the year 6, not 2006!

[Regnad Kcin]

...Never mind that the calender is a largely arbitrary, man-made device.

Tried to say so once before, back when so many were in mortal fear over the coming of the year 2000.

[ARubberChickenWithAPulley]

Well, it's been 06/06/06 for 14 hours now here in Korea and nothing has happened.

I have to say, I expected more from the Lord of Darkness.

I'm just not there yet...

[KevinM]

Heres a short list of things I'm positive will happen today.
* People will be born
* People will die(several of whom undoubtably at the hands of other people)
* Several people will be fairly disappointed since there latest prediction of doom and gloom has failed
* Some disaster will happen some where between now and six months from now(hurricane, tornado, earthquke)
* The Omen(the movie) will be released
* A lot of freinds of silly people will have the pleasure of saying I told you so

What do I base my certainty on? Well most of those things happen every day and the rest are to be expected(hey I got to have fun at the expense of several people on January 2 2000). I'd also point out Science isn't wholy blaimless in creating unnecissary panics. After all our own technological foolishness sent the world into a panic in 2000(wow darned millenium bug so evil it scared lots of people then didn't happen), the creation of nuclear weaponry has left the world in fear of its actual use, and the whole global warming thing thats already been neatly commented on. All results of science, technology and other secular sources.

[mr_fidget]

Man knows that some other man is scared of the numbers 666.

According to BBC news The fear of the number 666 is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

My tongue just fell, pardon me, I must find some glue.

[SwissSkeptic]

The fear of the number 666 is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

Wow, that must be pretty bad for the hexakosioihexekontahexaphobic people who happen to suffer from hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia as well.

ETA: Incidentally, does anybody besides the entertainment industry really take the 6/6/06 thing serious? I went to the Rapture Ready forums, hoping to encounter some sort of potentially comical mass hysteria, but much to my disappointment they don't seem to read anything into today's date. Does anybody at all?

Ah, I guess you're right, Shrike. You know, it's hard to keep up with all those apocalypses nowadays. My first impression of the article linked by the OP was that it was very exaggerated, as I had trouble finding many prophecies for today, but that could as well be because of my bad search skills.
Soooo, is the world simply supposed to end today or are we going to witness an exciting showdown between the eternal forces of good and evil, involving car chases, explosions and all that nice stuff?

[BillyJoe]

Well, today is already done in the Australia and not much untoward has happened. However I was seeing one of my most diasgreeable clients at 6:06:06 pm. Perhaps that counts for something. But then, my business phone number contains three consecutive sixes so I guess I had to expect some misfortune.

And, remember, as someone famous (whose name I cannot remember) once said...

:)"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today because, in Australia, it is already tommorrow.":)

BillyJoe

[NobbyNobbs]

Since the world's going to end today, do I really need to go to work?

[a_unique_person]

I spent last week blowing the credit card, since I won't ever have to pay it back.

[elaine]

It is the beginning of the apocalypse!!!

While riding my bike to work today, I saw four cop cars in front of a donut shop....um wait...nope....business as usual I guess..

Well, taking into account the considerable backlog of all apocalypses which have not yet happened, today's apocalypse is postponed to December 24th, 7523. For now.

[Bronze Dog]

Something super-evil is happening today, though: Ann Coulter's book is coming out.

[exarch]

Since the world's going to end today, do I really need to go to work?
No. And you can blame your speeding or otherwise breaking of the law as a result of "being influenced by Satan".

I'm sure "driving while possessed" isn't on the books yet, so it's legal ...

ETA: Erm... she?... sorry.

[Kiwiwriter]

Well, we're 13 hours into our 6/6/6 Telethon in the City of Newark, New Jersey, and still no sign of the apocalypse.

Mayor-elect Cory Booker is getting 24/7 police protection from now until his inauguration on July 1, but that's because of death threats from the Bloods, not Satan.

A woman asking for our telecommunications people asked how my 6/6/6 day was going, and I told her I was remembering D-Day. She didn't know what it was until I mentioned "Saving Private Ryan." My English and Canadian ancestors and relatives were probably quite annoyed by that...Americans often forget about the Anglo-Canadian beaches and casualties thereof.

Otherwise, still no sign.

Now, tonight, the Boston Red Sox send Dave Pauley to the mound for his second major league appearance. In his previous four innings of work, he gave up 10 hits and has a 12.87 ERA. The Yankees are sending Chien-Ming Wang to the mound in the second game of the grudge match. As a lifelong Yankee fan, I hope the Yankees spank the Sox tonight.

But since this is 6/6/6, what'll probably happen is that Pauley pitches a perfect game. :boggled:

[The_Fire]

19.13, still breathing and haven't seen Jesus yet. If any of you people meet him, be sure to remind him that a pagan friend of mine have a cup of tea ready for him when he's done topling the vatican.

[opqdan]

All the posts about 6/6/6 already being over or mosltly over are completely false. I think that it is obvious that America is God's chosen land and we are supposed to view all prophecies as happening during Eastern Standard Time. It's only 2pm here, so y'all had better watch out, my math shows that it will take no more than 3 hours 12 minutes for the antichrist to take control of the world and for the apocolypse to come.




It's true!

We had two birthdays up here for today, had a big party for all of us early June babies and what not. Fortunately, due to the appauling stupidity of some of our office staff, we have plenty of cake left since the entire purchasing department did not show up for work today... They were heard yesterday talking about holing themselves up in their houses for the day, just in case...

Anybody want any cake?

[Bronze Dog]

Anybody want any cake?
Has science invented magic yet? If so, fax it to me.

It's noon here in Caluifornia. Does having a Costco $10 pizza for lunch count as a disaster? My stomache is having a Tsunami...

[Meffy]

@The Mutha: Just purchasing? Interesting. Talked each other into it, did they?

[The Mutha]

Meffy: It's an odd duck little group, our Purchasing Dept. It's all women, of which none of them have children and few are married. I was so glad when they moved out of our area because they hated our noise (but had no qualms about holding conversations on speaker phones in their cubicles), put all kinds of signs up in the coffee bar area about your mom not working there, cover your food in the microwave, clean out the refrigerator, precise instructions on how NOT to burn popcorn and the final thing that made my last nerve twitch -- put signs up in every stall in the women's restrooms saying "Please make sure you're (sic) business is flushed before you leave".

They didn't much like me fixing their signs in red marker. I was so glad when they moved upstairs and I could rip down all those freaking signs.

[Meffy]

:-D A society unto themselves. Hope they get the business' business done well anyway...

Apparently it is by you. Please see about getting another forum name. You're making every bad cliche about Americans look correct.

[orphia nay]

I think we can safely predict a few things:

A bomb will go off somewhere. (I sarcastically predicted the same thing for 5/5/05 at a woo forum I used to go to, and when I was proved right, someone said I probably had powers. :rolleyes: )

Someone famous will die.

A number of people will be killed by violence in Iraq.

stupid failed end-times prophecy

[Kiwiwriter]

Darn...I was wondering if the world would end like a building falling, or an explosion from within, or a tidal wave, or everyone just keeling over and dying.

But the Angels defeated the Devil Rays 12-2, so I guess God had a hand in that.

More importantly, a rookie pitcher for the Red Sox with a 12.87 ERA started against Chien-Ming Wang, and the rookie did pretty well...gave up only two earned runs and stopped the Yankee streak of 13 games with 10 hits. The Yanks only got nine.

But the Red Sox only got one run when David Ortiz bounced a pitch off the Yankee Stadium upper deck, and the Yankees won.

Here's proof the world is ending, though: Melky Cabrera made a fantastic catch of a Manny Ramirez drive to left that went out of the park...but Cabrera leaped up on the fence and hauled it back in, falling on his belly, but keeping the ball.

Last year, Cabrera misplayed a sinking Trot Nixon line drive to center into an inside-the-park home run in Fenway Park. That was the game in which Tim Redding enjoyed an incredible one-inning career as a New York Yankee, losing by some obscene score. This year, Cabrera can hit, run, throw, and field. I think he's been replaced by the Stepford Outfielder.

Look, if the world ends again, not before I make it with Rae Dawn Chong.
