Apocalypse Now!

Today is the sixth day of the sixth month of 2006. So whether you write it in the European style or in the American format, you end up with 06/06/06. That's the ominous 6-6-6: the legendary mark of the Antichrist or the coming of the Apocalypse.

14 hours:13 mins:50 secs down, and less than 10 hours left on this day. Will we all perish or be saved in the nick of time [Link]? While you wait for 'something' to happen why don't you check out a number or two by Iron Maiden or Viking Skull? Or watch the 'Omen', Rosemary's Baby or the original Ringu? Yet another day to celebrate .. oops maybe commemorate, or just observe. The lure of doomsday and apocalypse has ensnared many to take their own and the lives of others over the years. What is it that drives people to believe in things such as this? Is it ignorance, false knowledge or too much knowledge?

For those who do believe that world is about to end- why did you wait till the 11th hour to start your prayers? Do you think we have enough time before those prayers will be heard? Man we are so doomed! According to latest reports- sadly scores of innocent people have just been killed in a bomb blast in Iraq, and unfortunately about a dozen or so just perished in Darfur, and oh, did I mention that some ill-informed gun-trotting school kids just happened to take their lives somewhere in the mid-west?

But for the lucky few who make it through the day, a percentage of them will possibly make big bucks at the expense of a gullible crowd that is too easily entertained.
