(Not sure why he didn't say 6/6/2106)
Seriously ... it's funny how so many people were predicting the Apocalypse. Perhaps these weren't bible-believing folks; I say that because nothing whatsoever in the Scriptures would suggest that 6/6/6 would be the date of the Apocalypse. It says, of course, that 666 is the number of a man, not the number of a date. Maybe these people were just scammers trying to take advantage of ignorant people. I don't know.
To me, as a person who loves patterned dates (e.g., 1/1/1, 1/2/3, etc. — is there a name for this?) it was just a cool date, just like an odometer reading (yes I love those too), only a little special because it had a different meaning from 1/1/1 and 5/5/5. (A Christian friend of mine is holding out for 7/7/7.) Ok, so maybe it was a birth date that one might suffer teasing and ridicule about all one's life, but beyond all that, it meant nothing. But I guarantee you, in June 3006, assuming the Lord hasn't come by then, there will be people proclaiming the Apocalypse.
