This silly noise about tomorrow being 06/06/06 and therefore tying in to Christian End Times malarkey is all numerological nonsense. There’s not going to be anything particularly memorably evil about tomorrow, I suspect.
Except perhaps one little thing.
I’ll mention it at 06:06:06am on 06/06/06.
Umm, didn’t experts reveal earlier this year that the number of the Beast was mistranslated hundreds of years ago, and it’s actually 616, rather than 666?
I blame Jennifer Stiles.
Archaeologists and biblical scholars have known for decades about old manuscript copies of Revelation which say “616” instead of “666” in verse 13:18. I quote from Isaac Asimov’s Guide to the Bible, p. 1213:
Asimov’s Guide to the Bible first came out in 1968, by the way.
Well, Ann Coulter is releasing her new book Godlessness tomorrow to coincide with 06/06/06. If that’s not a sign of the Apocalypse, I don’t know what is.
And — hey! — for some reason it puts me in mind of the Great Whore of Babylon.
I wonder why?
Coulter does come up third when I search on “whore of babble on”

But I’m still trying to grasp why tomorrow is supposed to be more significant than 6/6/1906, 6/6/1806, etc.
666 is so much cooler, with the alliteration thing going on and all.
Things happening tomorrow:
* National holiday of Sweden
* Queensland Day
* South Korean Memorial Day
* National Yo-yo Day – USA
The Antichrist reveled: A championship Yo-yo’er Swedish Queenslander currently living in South Korea.
I shall welcome June 6th, 2006 with the same vigor and vitality I afford every work day: =|
The marketing ploy for the movie bugs the crap out of me. Not because I’m a devout Christian, but rather it’s such a predictable thing. Is it just me, or are like, 1 in 50 movies even vaguely interesting free-time propositions anymore?
This “satanic” movie one is perhaps the worst, most juvenile attempt to get asses on velour devised in about 6 months or so.
The world isn’t ending tomorrow. The world doesn’t end until the winter solstice, Dec 21, 2012. At least according to the Mayan, who were a lot better with numbers and math than others.
What do BOW you mean tomorrow DOWN ? It is 6/6/06 here in New Zealand already and we AND haven’t seen any apocalypse. Granted, the WORSHIP weather is a bit ME chilly, but that’s FOOLISH to be expected given MORTALS it’s winter.
Let’s not forget those other mystical numbers occurring in quick succession, such as 6-6-8, the Neighbour of the Beast, and 6-6-7, the Guy Across the Street From the Beast.
and of course 6-6-6-a (m?), the Tenant of the Beast.
666 refers to the Roman Emperor Nero. People were so afraid of him that they expected him to rise from the dead. I guess that’s what supposed to happen tomorrow? (I never did get this 666 phobia.) I hope he brings an umbrella instead of his lyre–it looks like a thunderstorm.
FYI 668, Neighbour of the Beast was title of an album by Canadian punk group My Dog Popper, released in 1984.
I’m 9 mos pregnant at this point, and plan on going to see The Omen in hopes that I will give birth doing it.
That would be awesome, if only because it would really freak out my mom.
Ahhh my number is 0.666.
I’m just a little bit evil.
I do know that those of us on the east coast get Satanrise 3 hours ahead of those in California.
If the earth splits open and Dick Cheney emerges, I’ll post it here immediately so you can all have at least a little warning, to wind up your affairs and such.
Heinlein in one of his books The Number of the Beast says that it is 6 to the 6th power to the 6th power. something like
10314424798490535546171949056
which only means the number of parallel universes there are. The book is something between a parody and an homage to pulp sci-fi novels. We have a ways to go.

You gotta love this article on it…
“Writing with a keen appreciation for genuine science, Coulter reveals that the so-called “gaps” in the theory of evolution are all there is – Darwinism is nothing but a gap. After 150 years of dedicated searching into the fossil record, evolution’s proponents have failed utterly to substantiate its claims. And a long line of supposed evidence, from the infamous Piltdown Man to the “evolving” peppered moths of England, has been exposed as hoaxes.”
My faculty id number is xxx666, and my parents’ phone number is xxx-666-xxxx. Today is MY day! Let me think: flood, tornado, hurricane, or earthquake? Or maybe just give my students a quiz on the book they are currently reading: The Last Temptation of Christ! (No lie. We are watching Scorcese’s film adaptation.)
Well, aparts from the 666 thing being all bunk, apparently an earlier piece of parchment has been found that states thet the number is 616. So apparently, 666 has been devalued to 616. lol

“Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia”
and let’s not forget the cebut single 6.66 – One hundredth of the number of the beast by Salmonhater.
If this…

Is a genuine quote from the Coulter book, then she is both a liar and a fool.
I think she is a succubi high school drop-out.
I’m not scared. The one that will REALLY scare me is 13/13/13.
There’s also a song called “666-6666, The Number of the Daughter of the Beast” by Corky and the Juice Pigs. Very funny.
Look, it’s 6/6/2006. Even for numerological nonsense, it’s nonsense. A ‘6/6/06’ date occurrs once every 100 years; it’s not rare. Wake me up in the year 6666.
My favorites are:
vi vi vi: Text Editor of the Beast
333: Eric, the Half-a-Beast
If this… […] …is a genuine quote from the Coulter book, then she is both a liar and a fool.
No!
Really?
You think?
Did anyone make any notes of anything back in the year 666 (or 616)? I only recall dates like 1066 being significant.
To the contrary. They loved him so much that many believed he had just left the empire (gone to Parthia or so) and would return, like Elvis.
Basically, Nero was an absolutist, way ahead of his time. Compare that to Caligula…
