Today is June 6–a rather innocuous day on any given year except this one: 2006.
Believe it or not, doomsayers worldwide are deep in bomb shelters right now because of a little celestial coincidence that today’s date has when written solely with numbers: 6/6/06. Yes, it’s the sign of the devil (minus the 0, of course).
There are various theories on what might happen today that range from the rapture, to terrorist attacks, holy wars, the emergence of the antichrist, or simply the release a silly Hollywood movie staring the devil himself.
Thanks to the marvel of technology, I have written this post before the dreaded date just in case–so if you’re reading this, then all is okay. I’m not too concerned about myself, however, as I am currently in Europe where they always put the DAY first instead of the month when writing out a date. So, instead of 6/6/06 it is 6…. Oh damn!
