Anybody else notice that their will be a 6/6/6 this year? What can we expect?
Recorder players and tambourinists will descend upon the sessions. 
Some kind of harangue from Cranberry about the ungodliness of the Gregorian calendar.
Actually, Gonzo, one of my friends (Licia Kuenning) has had a prophecy from the Lord that the town of Farmington, Maine will become a New Jerusalem on that date.
She also wrote a book about it. You can read about it all here: http://www.megalink.net/~klee/
(I don’t believe her, of course, but I respect her prophecy.)
Journalists will take a lazy day and produce even more hokum than usual.
Nu, who wants another Jerusalem? Isn’t there enough trouble over the old one?
There is no significance, so far as I am aware, of the arbitrary number 6-6-2006.
Good point. What more significance would this date have than June 6, 1906, or June 6, 1806? I would have placed my bets with June 6 of 6 AD. Of course, there was no Gregorian calendar then.
The entire calendar is arbitrary!
No date has any significance whatsoever
Except my birthday: 12/16.
Please send money so I can buy more fifes.
Thank you.
i’ll make sure i’m back in Ireland before then
I think they mean it could be written as 6/6/6. However, I don’t know a single person who writes their dates that way. 6/6/06 is more common, and 06/06/06 isn’t uncommon either. However, 6/6/6 just looks weird (as would 5/4/3 or 9/12/7 or whatever).
Even if it’s thought of as 6/6/6, there’s still a great mathematical and logical leap, based on an ingrained base 10 mindset, that must be made in order for that to equal six hundred three score and six.
Historically, in the year 666, Wighard was elected Archbishop of Canterbury, but died of plague before being consecrated.
Ah, yes. That. I remember old Wighard rather well. It’s a pitty he died of the plague. Such a nice man he was.
My date of birth is a palindrome: 15-6-51.
There’s a 6-6-6 every day. Two if you’re in the US. 6:06:06 AM and 6:06:06 PM. I believe that’s 18h06 06s or something like that elsewhere.
Now if you’re talking 6-6-6-6-6-6, then 6:06:06 on 6/6/2006 would be that, which doesn’t happen every day.
My college roommate used to wait for November 11 every year, and he’d sit by the clock waiting for 11:11 11/11.
Then of course there’s “Lone Ranger time:” ten-to-ten, ten-to-ten, ten-to-ten, ten, ten… 
I sometimes joke with customers if the sale is $6.66 and say something like “now, you’re not superstious, are you?”
I prefer $5.55 myself. $5.55 seems so much aesthetically purtier than $6.66.
I had read somewhere that 666 was an incorrect reading of Revelations, and that the number of the beast is actually 999. Although the New Testament is rife with numerology I have yet to find any correlation with my own day-to-day. I think I will stick to numerismatism.
