There were a bunch of religious nuts, emo fags, and crazy people saying 6-6-06 would be the end of the world. Pregnant mothers tried to hold their babaies in so that they wouldn't be born today. Well, the Earth is still here. The dead haven't risen, there aren't four horsemen destroying stuff. Earthquakes haven't leveled cities, floods haven't ravaged the coats. Also, the crabpeople didn't try and conquer us. Everything went on like it was a just a normal day. In fact, where I am it was a nice pretty day out. How was your day today? Weere you on the streest preaching the book of revelations? Were you sacrificing lambs to Satan? Or did you just wake up to the same shit you do everyday?

On 6/6/06, I spent the day inside pissed at my government. What a worthless and wasted day.

My day consisted of rising from the dead (getting up from bed). Taking part in satanic rituals (graduation practice). Feasted on the flesh of the innocent (had lunch at Famous Wok). Then I roamed the Earth, spreading dstruction with my fellow undead/demons (hung out with friends).

Well, the Earth is still here. The dead haven't risen, there aren't four horsemen destroying stuff. Earthquakes haven't leveled cities, floods haven't ravaged the coats.
I really can't talk about it - confidentiality clauses and so on and so forth - so all I can say is:

You're welcome! :cool:

The History Channel programmers are holding their heads and weeping right now.

6.6.06 isn't purported to be the day the Earth absolutely comes to an end -- many times it's supposedly the beginning of the end, so to speak. To consider it in date format, it's more logical to consider today the beginning of an era of violence, plundering, etc etc etc.

Now, if you believe the world may end through more civilised means, then perhaps today, what with the opening of the shitty remake of The Omen, could still signify the end of a glorious time.

Seriously, nobody go see The Omen. The same guy who wrote the screenplay for the original, wrote this screenplay, and he was largely uninterested in changing, oh, JUST ABOUT ANYTHING about it. They added some cats in devil-masks. I promise, the original -- or, God forbid, the BOOK -- would be much more entertaining, and probably cheaper.

It's funny. The sun is shining, it's a nice temp out. The clouds are beautiful. I bet the emo fags were disappointed. They were hoping for rain, darness, and cloudy weather.

he whole apocalipsething is a lie.

I got a job. So there's some evil supernatural forces at work.

It's funny that they think now is the start of this age of violence, etc. I would've thought the black death or WW2 would've been the start. I agree, the Omen seemed stupid from the prewviews. I know a bunch of people who went to go see it. From the previews it looked like it sucks.

Is it a job for a corporation? Then it would be satanic work :D

You know what they say. It ain't over till it's over. And it ain't over yet. There's hours left to go of the evil day. After that, we'll have to wait a thousand years.

Or six, depending on who you believe.

I don't think the emo fags will wait that long. They may kill themselves now (hopefully). I was hoping there would be massive emo suicides, then the world would be a happier place :D

For an electrician. You never know, he might turn out to be the anti-Christ. It's always the one you don't expect.

Caseworker for Social Services - the most exciting job in the world!

I hope it's just temporarily, though...

That doesn't sound terribly bad. At least you have a job. Good luck with it and whatever job you'll get after it!

Thank you very much! ;) Indeed, I'm very happy that I at least have a job, so I shall not complain... much... :p

If it was the end of the world it was a very dull one. I spent four and a half hours of my day doing exams - three of philosophy and one and a half of mechanics.

And I had an awful lot of spare time in each one. Lots of it I spent doodling on my desk, but I wasn't that absorbed - I'm sure if everything had suddenly gone to smash I would've noticed.

I ate a ton of chocolate today. Seriously, it equaled the amount of chocolate I've eaten in the past couple of years. It was great. It was not for 6/6/6 though.

On the 6/6/06 I was stuck in school for 3 1/2 hours doing a politics exam. If thats not hell then I don't know what is. Have you noticed how today has seemed to be conected with the government? My politics exam, Gravlen working for the government, someone hating their government and David Camerons 6th month as leader of the conservatives. Argh look its the 6. I think theres a conspiracy dundundun

The high point of my day was...nothing. I relaxed and did nothing; hung out with a friend for a while but other than that it was the same as yesterday. The weather did cooperate, however.

06/06/06 was the day the Book called the Rapture came out.

I bought it today. :D

A bunch of my friends went to see The Omen...I pity them

My cousin had a baby boy named Jack today. I'll let you know if heads start flying.

Congratulations to your cousin?

*gets out bible*

Actually, I think the prophesy of today being a bad day came true, becuase I woke up with food poisoning. That's right, the big bad event that was meant to happen was me eating a bad piece of meat. Although, it wasn't that bad... I got to avoid school. :)

Congratulations to your cousin?

*gets out bible*
Thanks?

Well it was the endtimes for emo kids (today was, after all, International Punch an Emo Day), anyway. I personally know of one who will be seeing through a black eye tommorrow (not my doing, his girlfriend did it to him.).

I do think that some people of less litteracy may misread it and end up being killed by blunt force to the chest, delivered courtesy of one of the few flightless birds left alive. :p

I alwas laugh at those who think they know when the end of the world comes around. I remember driving down some old country road somewhere and I came across a little church that's billboard read "The end is here". That was about 5 years ago, and I didn't notice any changes... I always wonder what people do... If you said that the world would end on a certian day after digging through the bible for days and pieced together what you considered to be some sort of code telling of the end of times, would you spend the day sitting in your house in dread? Then you realize that the day has come and gone, with no big explosions. Then the next day, week, month, year... While you prepared for what you were convinced was the final day of man, the rest of the world went about it's own buisness as usuall. Of course, the end of the world has been predicted hundreds of times in the past... And I think fear of the numbers 666 is even wierder. They're just numbers tied to the devil in revilations, it doesn't mean that something's going to happen to you if you follow through with a task involving 666... For instance, once I ordered some food from a restraunt and the total came out to $6.66. The numbers didn't ring any kind of bell in my head so I'm just getting my money out and the cashier asks me if I still want my food... When I asked him why he asked, he said it was because a lot of people are afraid to accept food that totals to $6.66... I took the food, ate it and I'm still alive! So.. there!

after all, its 662006
no matter how you write it, it will either be 662006 or 6606
the number is consecutive 6's

as in the sixth day of the sixth month in the year 6666

so the date will be 6/6/6666 or 666 666

so the date will be 6/6/6666 or 666 666

Actually I believe even that would be wrong a there are too many 6's. We missed the day of death by 2000 years, as the only true "666" would have been 6/6/6, in the year 6.

"Beast's real mark devalued to '616'
National Post, Canada
May 4, 2005

Satanists, apocalypse watchers and heavy metal guitarists may have to adjust their demonic numerology after a recently deciphered ancient biblical text revealed that 666 is not the fabled Number of the Beast after all.

A fragment from the oldest surviving copy of the New Testament, dating to the Third century, gives the more mundane 616 as the mark of the Antichrist.

Ellen Aitken, a professor of early Christian history at McGill University, said the discovery appears to spell the end of 666 as the devil's prime number.
In Context

"This is a very nice piece to find," Dr. Aitken said. "Scholars have argued for a long time over this, and it now seems that 616 was the original number of the beast."

The tiny fragment of 1,500-year-old papyrus is written in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, and contains a key passage from the Book of Revelation.

Where more conventional versions of the Bible give 666 as the "number of the beast," or the sign of the anti-Christ whose coming is predicted in the book's apocalyptic verses, the older version uses the Greek letters signifying 616.

"This is very early confirmation of that number, earlier than any other text we've found of that passage," Dr. Aitken said. "It's probably about 100 years before any other version."

The fragment was part of a hoard of previously illegible manuscripts discovered in an ancient garbage dump outside the Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus. Although the papyrus was first excavated in 1895, it was badly discoloured and damaged. Classics scholars at Oxford University were only recently able to read it using new advanced imaging techniques.

Elijah Dann, a professor of philosophy and religion at the University of Toronto, said the new number is unlikely to make a dent in the popularity of 666.

"Otherwise, a lot of sermons would have to be changed and a lot of movies rewritten," he said with a laugh. "There's always someone with an active imagination who can put another interpretation on it.

"It just shows you that when you study something as cryptic and mystic as the Book of Revelation there's an almost unlimited number of interpretations."

The book is thought to have been written by the disciple John and according to the King James Bible, the traditional translation of the passage reads: "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

But Dr. Aitken said that translation was drawn from much later versions of the New Testament than the fragment found in Oxyrhynchus. "When we're talking about the early biblical texts, we're always talking about copies and they are copies made, at best, 150 to 200 years after [the original] was written," she said.

"They can have mistakes in the copying, changes for political or theological reasons ... it's like a detective story piecing it all together."

Dr. Aitken said, however, that scholars now believe the number in question has very little to do the devil. It was actually a complicated numerical riddle in Greek, meant to represent someone's name, she said.

"It's a number puzzle -- the majority opinion seems to be that it refers to [the Roman emperor] Nero."

Revelation was actually a thinly disguised political tract, with the names of those being criticized changed to numbers to protect the authors and early Christians from reprisals. "It's a very political document," Dr. Aitken said. "It's a critique of the politics and society of the Roman empire, but it's written in coded language and riddles."
"

666 was a misprint and even if it really was the real number it is nothing more than 2000 year old political code.

The world did end. You people were just too busy being full of it to notice.

World is dead. It's all over.

THE END.

Oh...

That could explain why it's all white when I look out the window... at least the world ending didn't remove me of the internet.

That's because the Internet is God.

I'm sorry but I already died.

I didn't even realize the date was 06/06/06 until just a few hours ago when I saw an article in the paper mentioning it. Wouldn't have noticed or cared if I didn't stumble across it. Only glanced at its content but it was basic paranoid idiots talking about doomsday and the simple fools who are nervous about nothing like those who don't like being on the 13th floor of a building.

For me, it was a quiet day, it was warm and sunny and I got an A on a final exam. A very fine day really.
