People getting worried as the date approaches http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...158015,00.html
It wouldn't bother me in the least.
Nothing happened on any previous 06/06/06's so why should this one be any different.
It's funny how one date can be branded as spooky or unholy. I also find it funny how anyone called Damian automatically triggers thoughts of the Omen film or the Devil himself (or Only Fools and Horses) :D It'd be interesting to see how many people call their children Damian these days, I bet it has consistently dropped over the last 20 years or so....
I used to sit beside a lad called Damien many moons ago in school.
He was a bit of a mad man and although he was sound, I truely
believed he could well have been the spawn of satan.
Most of the teachers agreed.
My 12 yr old cousin is called Damien and is a sweet little angel!
The new Omen film released that day...
It's also the launch date for the new Omen remake... http://www.heedtheomen.com/
The date is a bit of a marketing gimmick, but it does make you wonder why the new Bond film isn't being held back until next year - 007 in 2007!!
People are idiots. Remember the millenium?Quote:

They release a special beer every year starting from 02-02-02 up until 12-12-12.
From a brewer of extreme American beers, including the likes of Arrogant B*stard Ale, I'd imagine these beers aren't for the light-hearted.
I'd love to see a TV documentary with some of these people. Like Carlos Roa, the Argentine international goalkeeper who wouldn't sign a new contract beyond 31/12/99 because he was a seventh-day adventist who thought the world was going to end then. I'd love to know how he felt on 01/01/00.
Probably relieved to be still alive. And a little hungover.Quote:

Did he think that there was a comet/meteor going to destroy the Earth onQuote:

I think the most sensible comment on "evil" dates such as this came in the classic Schwarzenegger/Gabriel Byrne film End of Days:

This is basically my millenium bug.Quote:
