Wow, it’s finally here. Does anyone have a schedule? Beast arrives at 10, the Rapture at noon, the end times at 5. Then dinner if you’re still here.
As you know, it’s June 6, 2006 — aka 6/6/06 or 666, and if you didn’t get your Post-Gazette because the world ended, please don’t call us. Your account will be credited, and delivery will resume in the afterlife, with special fire-retardant newspapers if necessary.
That’s the sort of risk-free offer Web-based casino BetUS.com has been making to religiously-oriented bettors, Wireless Flash News reports. It’s giving attractive 10,000-to-1 odds for those willing to wager that the world ends today, which, all bets aside, might be good news for the Pirates. These cunning BetUS.com people admit, however, they’re not sure how the dead winners will collect, although they do know exactly how many gamblers can lose money on the head of a pin.

Here’s the best: A man who is six foot six is turning 66 on 6/6/6/! Says he is not worried! My advice go to the track and bet on horse 6 in the sixth race. You watch, he’ll come in sixth.
Paul Porter is not a superstitious man. Good thing, too.
Because today Porter, who stands 6 feet 6 inches, is turning 66.A shorter or taller, slightly older or younger man might be worried about celebrating his 66th birthday on 6/6/6. “I only happened to think about how unique it was a week or two ago,” said Porter, a retired city assessor and former Manchester alderman.

The number of the beast is 616 not 666, this was yet another mistranslation. That means the world didn’t end since that was 5 days ago.
Actually the world did end..this is a dream.
@Luís Camacho
Or it was going to end 5 months ago if from the UK.
Well being my birthday today i hope the world doesn’t end, or if it does preferably before by maths exam! Its not too much to ask is it?
I’ll bet somebody’s world ends today…
If the beast arrives at 10, what time zone do we have to take then? GMT? Jerusalem Time zone?
Oh, both passed already! OK, so the world is not going to end today and I can come out of my bunker.

Um…we’re about 2,000 years off for 6/6/6. Today is 6/6/06. 6606 isn’t mentioned in the Bible.
So….again….we’re off by 2,000 years.
Hey, it’s my birthday today too, turning 21 !
Is there something to be worried about ?
Besides, I write it 6 Jun 2006.
I never knew John ate Philip K Dick for breakfast.
Yeah Phillippe…..the worry is called *taxes*
I’m working the California polls in about an hour…..the world will be ending for quite a few people…..only at around 9 p.m. tonight.
I am ready for the trip.When do we leave?
The true “beginning of the end” will be when gas prices first hit $6.66 a gallon. Unfortunately, that’s only a couple of months away according to Exxon’s calendar 😉
I’m hoping for the rapture. Maybe then we can get a Democratic majority again.
Remember it is only 662006 if you want to drop the leading zeros, to many people are making a big deal out of a number that is not even the mark of the beast, and also you are also not considering those that are not pre-millanlist dispensationalists. Lutherans are amillenalists, and the Church in Rome is post-millanlist. I will admit I don’t know what the church of the East is.
I heard someone discussing this, not too seriously, on the radio:
In most rapture scenarios, the clothing is left behind.
Here’s in example for “Left Behind”:
Harold’s clothes were in a neat pile on his seat, his glasses and hearing aid on top. The pant legs still hung over the edge and led to his shoes and socks.
Well what about the boob jobs? You know, the silicone implants? Will those also be laying on the ground?
“Today is 6/6/06”
No, today is 06/06/2006, and in no way is that evil, or the mark of the beast, especially since his number is 616 (6h of January, 6th Century AD)
And then, what calendar are you going on, we don’t have one global calendar used by everybody.
its funny to see the dialog between all the people who like to hang on to the joke of the date, and all the people who know that the number has nothing to do with a date, and that dates are only approximate representations of time passed, anyway. oh, and timezones..
anway, #14 actually made me laugh, though, by now, 4 comments later I can’t even remember what it said. I guess that shows how important all this really is.
reading back… oh… that is funny, he’s saying that all the righteous people are Republicans. . . I wonder what that says about Democrats.
So glad to be a registered independent.
Thanks to Marc (#14) and GregAllen (#16) for the laughs…
Too bad that nothing is really going to happen. The sudden glut of unoccupied houses would create the most insane buyer’s market in history.
5:38 EDT, still here.
I thought it would have happened at 06:06:06 and not at noon… 😉
So, the really funny thing is…
people grab 666 out of the bible, and naively tie it to a date, but these same people appearently never read the book, or at least the part where it says “no one knows the hour or the day”
