Party in Hell on Tuesday

I helped deliver beer to Hell once. Glad to see they are taking advantage of the day.

That said, the 6-6-06 thing is pretty silly, as are most manifestations of the number. In my youth, it was pointed out that if you count the number of letters in the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, you get 6-6-6, and not even the MoveOn-ites of the 80's really thought Ronnie Rayguns was the Antichrist. The fundamentalist anti-New Age author Constance Cumbey pointed out that liberal theologian Matthew Fox's surname was 666 in the most common numerological system (and since when do fundies do numerology anyway?). You can go anywhere with this...hell, the number 6 looks like a fetus, doesn't it? What's that mean?

Yes, all curled up in the womb...so maybe 666 is the number of pro-lifers??


You see how silly this can get.
