A terrible reminder I got today - today is the 3rd June 2006.
Does this mean that on the 6th of June 2006 (which'll be
06/06/06 wherever you are) we're out of here!

My friend was saying 666 being the Devils number - should I be
playing "Stairway to Heaven" on that day?

It's a frightning prospect. Guess it's only if you believe in
all that Voodo trash! Heck - we all have to go sometime don't
we?

Big problem with that. it would have to be June 6, 0006 to be considered 6-6-6 or 666 as christians refer to it as. 2006 is 2000 years too late.

I wouldn't even give it a second thought.

Good enough for me - I cannot deny my religion, however dates
are all based on that very foundation - which is why other
cultures have their own rules about it. All that Nostradumus
hocus pocus doesn't worry me.

Christianity is based upon the bible and the existance of Jesus Christ. The notion of 666 is from the book of revelations. A guy high on opium wrote that. Rest assured, we probably don't have anything to worry about, except for bush..lol:twisted:
 
By the way, June 6th is the newly defined Swedish national day and I sincerely hope the world will not end by that.

To be picky, the date is 20060606 or 06062006 something like that, so quite a way from 666.

Yeah, I mentioned that earlier, but actually, there will never be a 06-06-06. It happened only once in history June 6 year 6, to make 6-6-6.
I wish folks would stop worrying.:mrgreen:
It is bad down here in the bible belt south, everything swears the world is ending in three days...lol....
 
I wonder how it works, since it isn't the same time/date everywhere in the world at once. Does it go by time zones? Starting from Greenwich, that gives me five hours to convert to Christianity and be saved. If you guys in GB see anything funny start to happen around midnight, be sure and give the rest of us the heads-up before the end of the world reaches our side of the pond.

It will start at CP/M User's horizon, he's probably the most far east of all of us. If he reports the armageddon when it begins, you will have more than 12 hours to convert to Christianity.
 
I hope I have time to build a space ship and fly away.
Oh wait, according to the book the 666 notion came from, the earth is the only celestial body, I have nowhere to go.
 
On the other hand, it was said that Hell will freeze over the day Finland won the Eurovision Song Contest. Now they have done it (thanks to a monster show that reminds people about Satanism, no less) so I wonder if the Devil now is busy shoveling his way out of his home, having no time for Armageddon or other devastating business.

Down south, all they do is swear up and down that Armegeddon is coming like Chicken Little about the Sky Falling, it's almost funny, but that reminds me of a reason why I moved north as FAR away as I could. I hardly hear anything about it, on 6/6/06, they're repaving the apartment driveway.

I just assumed it would occur where the date line occurs on
the planet - but how do we even know it's 1hr away from NZ?

All this falls back onto what I mentioned earlier about Dates.
Who knows the Earth might disolve on a date which has no
relevalance - based on the age of the Earth - which could be
between NOW to infinity, but like all things everything comes
to an end.

Maybe, or maybe it'll be off the shores of Bermuda, as I said
the International Date line is approx an hour off the shores
of NZ. Or maybe this so called conveyor belt which brings warm
temperatures off the shores of England will suddenly stop!

Well the so called Conveyor belt which brings warm
temperatures to England/Europe (I guess) is believe to be in
the process of stopping. Once it stops it takes a while for it
to start up again (not sure of the period - perhaps 50
years?), this is thought that once stopped it brings Sub-zero
temperatures. The doco talk about Englands coldest Winter
being -20ºc in 1962/3 with the conveyor stopped it was thought
this would be the standard winters would be this cold - year
after year. It's a frightning prospect unfortunately - cause
on a global scale it's believe this controls large amounts of
rain - without it less rain - perhaps none!

Hate to sound all doom & gloom about it, but as I say we'll
just have to wait & see what happens - I thought the doco was
a bit over dramatised in it's claims.

I think it is more commonly known as the Golf stream, and it is debatable whether it will stop or reverse direction, and if so, on which conditions. One thing for certain, the Bible doesn't explicitely mention the Golf stream shifting since it was an unknown phenomenon (and perhaps the Atlantic sea was unknown to Hebrews and Greeks as well).

I think I posted here before about the web page that is lobbying for Ireland to apply for Winter Olympics 2020, when the stream is supposed to have stopped or reversed, and Dublin will have a climate like Moscow and thus should be able to offer snow and ice in the winter.

I think (I am going to stay though. where I live, I dont have to worry about getting old computer and telephones snatched from under me, lol. I can goto a yard sale at 11am and still get good stuff down here, but up north the are too many collectors.
 
A minor point, Anders, with apologies for pointing this out in public, but it's the Gulf stream, as in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Golf stream would be a body of water that certain sportsmen in funny plaid pants and odd hats would complain loudly about when their (golf) balls landed in it. :wink:

The Gulf Stream is only a part of the 'Atlantic Conveyor' system (which is also known by the unlikely name: 'Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current'). As the Gulf Stream (surface) water cools in the polar region, it becomes denser and drops into a cold, deep, southbound current. See the diagrams:
