The day of the darned is upon us

At long last, it’s here: June 6, 2006 – or, as you’ve probably noticed by now the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth year. 6/6/6

Today is the day when we find out if Tom’s premonition will come true. Remember, that was written 149 days ago. Today is also the day that many people plan to get married at some of the more morbid wedding chapels in Las Vegas. And The Omen gets released today.

So will this be a day to revel in stupidity, will it be just another day, or are we about to face our final destiny? Will my ex-wife suddenly rule the world? Only time will tell. However, the day is technically mostly over (ask any Aussie and Asian - the Americas follow the rest of the world in this regard) and not much has happened ... yet.

Then again, George Bush, gay marriage, and Mary Kay Latourneau are topping the news right now. Maybe the day of doom is upon us - perhaps it's just more subtle than we think.

So how do we avoid burning in Hell today? Well, according to Weather.com, sunscreen wouldn't hurt. And don't forget your anti-histamine - there's a pollen warning today.
