Whether you live in Europe or North America or Asia, the date today is 666. My thinking is that it is like a Friday the 13 on steroids. So what happens today? End of the world?

You all are nuts. Today will be a day just like every other day.

And yes, we do have lots better things to worry about--my guess on the ring around the bologna is that it's there to DEVOUR OUR SOULS.

Yeah, by the numbers, Armageddon should have happened 2000 years ago. The hysterical masses forget that there is actually a "2" in the date.

And by the way, the calendar was realigned by Pope Gregory back in the 1500s when he decreed the world should skip directly from October 4th to the 15th (if I recall the numbers), so everything got all screwed up then, too. If it were going to happen in this century, it would not be today. ;-)

Well it's all over already in South Africa. To be quite honest I forgot about it for most of the day, but even if I had remembered it I would have been more interested in it as a numeric curiosity than anything else.

My only memory of something out of the ordinary happening on a Friday 13th was getting 100% on a maths exam despite feeling unwell that day. After that I've seen no reason to worry about a stupid thing like the date.

not only that but the catholic church found a math error in the 15oo's that showed the caledar was actually 4 years off. Instead of correcting it though (and causing mass confusion) they just let it go though. So 06/06/06 actually happened in 2002.
