It will be June 6, 2006 in just two more days....
...is anybody expecting a new arrival? Anyone know of any White House aids or republican high ups or regious fundies expecting to give birth on that day?

Let me see, counting backwards, conception would have been between Sept 8, 2005 to Sept 13 2005. Do you know what you were doing between those dates?

Mothers expect Damien on 6/6/06
The Times, UK

For one group of expectant mothers, their due date holds an extra dimension of dread. The prospect of giving birth on June 6, 6/6/06, has prompted talk of spawning devil children on Armageddon day.

A British self-help group that usually exchanges routine tips on parenting has turned its attention to the dangers of a date marked by the satanic symbol.

For Hollywood and the worldwide entertainment industry it is by contrast a once-in-a- century opportunity to turn evil into gold. Leading the charge is 20th Century Fox, whose remake of The Omen, the classic 1970s horror film, will appear on June 6.

The approach of the sixth day of the sixth month of a new century’s sixth year has prompted animated discussion among women participating in the website of Mother & Baby, a British parenting magazine.

2. Wrong number ...
It seems 666 is a bad translation of what should be 616. Oh,well.

3. In the Bible...
they just killed off all the offspring that were a threat...didn't Herod try that? and whoever was King when Moses was born? Of course, they always missed the one they wanted....:silly:

4. If Your Child Is Born on 06-06-06
http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0606/666.html

Is My Child The Devil's Son?
A Checklist for Christian Mothers

If the 06-06-06 date can not be avoided, make sure that the child is kept in a chicken cage on the hospital floor, and that there are at least two full grown hogs within four feet of the cage at all times. As a Bible believing Christian, you know that demons and pigs act like the two sides of Velcro when they are around each other (Mark 5:12-13), so keeping them by your newborn's side acts as a Godly safety net. If one of the hogs starts grinning and snorting, prancing about, or just plain acting full of the Devil's business by emptying its bowels all over the hospital floor, get it out to a lake and drown it as soon as humanly possible. And you don't have to be a Christ-killing Jew to know this: Goodness gracious, don't eat the bacon!

6. Since the calendar is entirely man-made
and changed over the years ( Roman, Julian- and the Gregorian calendar in the 16th century)
this is just too stupid for words.

It's like thinking the bible was written in King James english.

9. On 06/06/0006, Jesus was a Kindergartener.
What happened to Him on that fateful day?

Nothing.

He came home from school, just as usual.

Plus, this is 2006. This 666 nonsense is precisely and utterly that. Nothing will happen.

06/06/1966. Nothing big happened.

06/06/1906. What happened that day?

06/06/1866?

1806?

1766?

1706?

Nothing happened on 06/06/1666 - the Great Fire of London happened in September. Oops, the kid playing with matches was a few months too late...

17. probably a bit older than that...
...because the people who created our calendar system got it all a bit wrong. Here's a quote:

"The best guess of most Biblical scholars is that Jesus was born between 4 and 7 BCE."

(from http://www.religioustolerance.org/xmas_date.htm)

The biblical accounts of Jesus' birth are at odds with one another on some important details (such as which rulers were in power, the "census/taxation" thing, etc.), so nobody knows, but based on the consensus quoted above, he'd have been maybe 10 years old by 06/06/0006.

10. Mayor of Hell, Michigan selling 06-06-06 mugs and t-shirts

http://www.news10.net/storyfull3.aspx?storyid=17951

Michigan Town Heats Up for 666 Party


HELL, Mich. (AP) -- This Tuesday, it'll be a hot time in Hell. Tuesday marks the once-in-a-millennium date of 6/6/06. It's a spot on the calendar watched carefully in the small Michigan town named Hell, about 60 miles west of Detroit.

The date comes close to the number 666, which signifies the devil in the Bible's Book of Revelation. In anticipation, radio stations as far away as San Diego and Seattle have been raffling off trips to Hell. Live entertainment and a costume contest are also planned.

One local businessman is especially fired up. He's selling souvenir mugs and T-shirts marked "666," which also come with a letter stating the owner spent June 6, 2006 in Hell.

Though the exact reasons are in dispute, the Michigan hamlet has been officially known as Hell since 1841.

14. My Daughter Was Born On 6-08-66... I Was SOOOOOOO Worried
way back then! I was given a 6-8-66 date of birth and THANKFULLY it turned out that way. I do have to say that it could have been later though. I had a Dr's appointment on that day and he asked me if I was ready and I said "you bet" and so he sent me to the hospital and had to break my water!

I've always been extremely athletic and he told me had he NOT performed this procedure I may well have gone ANOTHER two weeks because the sac was very thick! I rode horses during my pregnancy and did all sorts of things.... this was WAAAAAYYYY before the information you get today about exercising and staying in shape during pregnancy. I didn't know those things back then, just an active 20 year old who enjoyed sports. It helped a lot.

But I did just miss 6-6-66! There have been times when I've joked with my daughter telling her that she missed her birth date by two days! We've laughed about this many many times!

20. One practical suggestion for celebrating NDOS
Call some friends to come out to a really noxious RW fundy church - the kind that openly endorses Republican candidates and excommunicates members who admit to voting Democrat.

Insert Reign In Blood into your vehicle's CD player. Instruct friends to do likewise.

All motorists are advised to turn the volume up as loud as it will go. Hearing protection is highly recommended, especially for older participants.

Drive around the church over and over and over and over and over again, blaring Slayer at top volume, until all evil is purged from the church and peace reigns supreme once again.

Please note that this may violate certain municipal laws and ordinances, so please check the lawbooks and act responsibly.

And, whatever you do, have fun!

IMO the only significance of this date is that it will be the 62nd anniversary of D Day.

19. Mann Coulter is supposed to have a book released on that date.



That was the last I heard anyway.


I confess, I don't keep up with his/her/its agenda.
