No, I'm not a Satan worshipper. But if there ARE any on the board, could you tell me where the origin of this came from? Like, how did it come to represent satan and all that hubbub?
I tried doing a Google search to find out, but all the results were way too demonic and not informative enough. But I did find some low rates on Pentagrams.
References from the book of Revelation
Mark of the Beast
Revelation 13:16-18 states:
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."
More importantly 06/06/06 is national Slayer Day!

Ah, thanks for the slight heads up. I sorta knew it was "the mark of the beast". But more specifically, does 666 have any significance? Why couldn't it have been 222 or 8675309?
I don't know why I'm trying to track down this answer. It was just one of those random thoughts that I'm trying to finish I guess.

Hippies can't stand death metal, right Corey? ;)

No problem.
And remember to celebrate next year. For 667=the neighbour of the beast!

I don't. That music totally kills my buzz. It's so angry! ;)
someone told me the world is supposed to end on 06/06/06 :-/
Nah, not a chance. The mayan calendar runs out in 2012, so I'm banking on THAT year to be the end.

we have evil in our fridge, too. only ours is called "the fucking tomato that shelby hasn't thrown out for six months".
One of my roomates left a half gallon of expired milk in the fridge for quite some time.
When I went to pour it out two days ago (5/15/06) the expiration date on it was (11/13/05).
It sorta made a "Ca-chunk, Ca-chunk" sound when I poured it out in the sink.
Gross. :P
