Happy Satan Day!

There is a bit of numerical interest to living at the beginning of a century - you get to see calendar dates align. We've already experienced 1 through 5 and now the sixes get their turn.

The sixes, however, generate more hullabaloo because, in triplicate, they represent the alleged sign of the alleged devil, the prince of darkness, the unholiest of the unholy, the bane of the Christian existence.

Of course, for most of us, celebrating 6.6.06 is just about having a bit of fun. Most of us don't take it seriously, because it is simply superstitious fodder. Plus if you consider the whole date, 6.6.2006, it kinda screws the whole thing up. But there are some people who are taking it a bit too seriously, making plans so they don't give birth today, counting down to the apocalypse, and so on and so forth.

Personally, I think it would be cool to have a birthday of 6.6.06, although not as cool as being born in 69. But for those women who are upset that they gave birth today, here are some helpful tips from the satirical slubberdegullions of Landover Baptist Church.

For everyone else, enjoy this once in a lifetime day of numerical alignment, and remember, it is all in good fun.
