[Thud]

Tell me that pregnant women are scheduling inductions and C-sections in order to avoid giving birth on 6-6-06.

Actually, don't bother. I know they're doing it. But really, folks -- I know that we've come to think of C-sections as being routine, but it's a serious abdominal procedure that requires substantial recovery time and has more than a little risk involved. It's not a frivolous thing to be done for reasons of vanity or half-assed superstition.

Just wait until 7-7-07.

What's sad is that I've read the whole 666 thing is a mis-translation dating back 1400 years. The real so-called "Number of the Beast" is 314 or something inane like that, one that has pre-existing symbolism of some sort.

But of course for anyone who actually obsesses over numerology, the Bible is the inerrant word of God, and mis-translations are theologically impossible...

314? 3.14? 3.14...15926535? It's Pi!

See, they told you science was the devil's work.

Y'know what would be funny? Playing 'Ave Satani' in delivery rooms on 6/6/6. Maybe leaving little trikes around the place...
