666
 
Just in case the world does end tomorrow....

Anyone worried about tomorrows 6/6/6 date?

Any special plans?

I have to say, I have a nice chunk of vacation time built up and I'll be fairly pissed if everything ends.

wendybeth 06-05-2006 10:41 AM

Scaeagles will be pissed as well- there goes his balcony seating!:evil:

Is there world going to end at 6:66AM Eastern time or Mountain time?

tracilicious 06-05-2006 10:49 AM

Isn't it already 6/6/06 somewhere in the world?

Gemini Cricket 06-05-2006 10:54 AM

I worked with a guy who freaked out everytime he saw 666 anywhere. He didn't like 'The Omen' or 'The Exorcist'...

That's totally me. I refuse to watch those movies and if I have to type an address with that sequence of numbers, you can bet I'll always add a space in between. I'm not sure if most Catholics are like that, but this one sure is!

I wasn't even thinking about tomorrow until I saw this post!! :( Thanks a bunch!! :( ;) However, doesn't the zero preceding the year 6 provide a safety cushion?

Just placate me and post "yes".

Eschatology - Edited: Moonliner's def below is more complete.

Ever since a comparative religions course in college, I've just liked the way that phrase flows off the tongue - apocalyptic eschatology.

es•cha•tol•o•gy
n.

1. The branch of theology that is concerned with the end of the world or of humankind.

2. A belief or a doctrine concerning the ultimate or final things, such as death, the destiny of humanity, the Second Coming, or the Last Judgment

[Greek eskhatos, last; see eghs in Indo-European Roots + -logy.]

As the world isn't scheduled to end until 2012, I'm not concerned about tomorrow. Except for the remake of The Omen. I first saw the original at a church sleep-over. Supplied by one of the youth group leaders. Those were fine times indeed.

Matterhorn Fan 06-05-2006 12:06 PM

I'll be joining one of my co-workers at THE OMEN tomorrow. She is particularly excited because she has a major crush on David Thewlis, and he is playing the David Warner role, that of Jennings, the news photographer who knows too much.

Assuming this remake follows the original as closely as it appears to be, she will get to witness

Last week, I had to go to Court for my very first time in regards to a traffic violation and payment mishap. (Aww! AllyOfTheDolls' very first appearance before the judge!) While the judge, court sheriff, and outcome was wonderful :) , I have to admit that beforehand, I exclaimed more then once that the gates of hell might just lead to a courthouse. :(

This is actually close to the Jewish take, which does not include a hell. A heavenly ever-after for the good, and nada for the bad. Just being dead and not taking part in happy goodness is punishment enough.

innerSpaceman 06-05-2006 10:16 PM

I wouldn't have even noticed the day except for the ubiquitous promo campaign for The Omen (which, yes, looks like a practically shot-for-shot remake).

6/6, regardless of the year, to me has always represented beginning of the turning of the tide in WWII. 62 years ago today was D-day.

I never knew anyone involved in the invasion. I would suspect that if I had they would never have been interested in talking it. A bloody day, a day where countless numbers of young men, the first to hit the beach, knew that stepping out of their landing craft meant almost certain death.

To the families of those who paid that price that day and to any survivors of the invasion itself, I salute you and you have my eternal gratitude.

I will know the end of the world has come when Hollywood has stopped remaking bad films that should not have been made in the first place or movies based on TV shows from the 1960's etc. Looks like in movieland the only TV show that will be sacred and not be touched is I Love Lucy.

Who is going to see Cars this weekend?

So - I seem to be experienceing some workplace "rapture" it seems many of my more "devout" Christian Co-workers have opted to stay home today leaving us "heathens" to cover their responsisbilities.

Hades 06-06-2006 02:47 PM

To placate Ally, I'll throw in a "Yes".:)

As to the Rapture, I'm sure that has been delayed. Something about Homeland Security wanting to check luggage and "sandals". ;)

I live just a stones throw away from a Christian school. The place still has it's full compliment of screaming young'uns in the playground. Had there been no sound from there at all, it may have raised my eyebrow a bit. Now, if the Rapture had occurred, the first thing I would like to do is see how many of the T.V. evangelists got left behind!:evil: I'm sure good ol Oral Roberts would still be here. God didn't call him home the first time, and I'm sure he / she has a very good reason not to call him up the next time too!:p

I have no intention of seeing the current reincarnation of "The Omen". I saw "The Exorcists" remake, and was thoroughly disappointed. For the most part, I've never been a real big fan of the horror flick. So the whole "6/6/06" bit is nothing but a yawn for me.

My song for today is going to be "Just Another Day" by Boingo. It just seems SO right for today!;) :snap:

BarTopDancer 06-06-2006 03:09 PM

Humm. So when all the people stayed home on Monday there was no traffic. Now all the Christians are [supposedly] staying home. Was there a noticable difference in traffic? Does that mean Bushie won't be working? Gosh I hope if the Rapture does happen today Bush is removed from the planet. Please please please!

No Christians at my work, so I didn't notice anything there.

But I have passed three different Fire Stations today, and ALL THREE had their trucks parked outside. Is this an odd coincidence, or was there something more?

Prudence 06-06-2006 07:35 PM

Everyone seemed to be at my workplace today. But then, state employees are inherently evil, so that's to be expected.

On the other hand, my class appears to be full tonight. Perhaps the law school is not under the protection of the Church.

The firestation at Springdale and Heil has voting. I've been going there for as long as I've been old enough to know to be quiet in the voting booth. My daddy used to take me to vote as a kid. It was a special daddy daughter thing since my mom couldn't vote.

The firemen wern't in the garage. It's always been a bunch of volunteers.
