Thinking back to the original post, what makes 2006 so satanically special? June 6, 1906 was also 6/06/06, & the same for each previous century.

...& furthermore, there's still many signs of the apocalypse left! Heck, there's a million things mentioned in the Turah\Bible\Quran left!

Religious books are all circumstancially written, with embedded things that have to happen, and can be easily interpreted as something.
People are just finding it hard to accept that we really don't need to follow a book anymore.
I believe in the existance of superior beings, but not in a spiritual since.

Never heard that one - cause I realised all the planets lined
up, though nothing about the gravitational pull.
I recall maybe dubious claims about millenium bug doing some
damage - e.g. Planes falling out of the sky, Hospital machines
ceasing to function & People suddenly finding themselves
without a pacemaker. Fortunately all that was false.
Who was the drama queen which started all that hype anyway -
they should be locked up.
Okay, a certain amount of checking was done obviously to make
sure - in case something might of happen & indeed there was
probably some systems which needed to be patched up to work -
though a lot of that was over-hyped.

Well, it's after midnite in GB. Anything strange happening in the sky? (You know, angels blowing trumpets, four horsemen, that sort of thing)...

No, it is 3 AM over here (gosh, I should be sleeping) and the dawn is near. No signs of anything unusual, but what do we know, maybe it is what the Armageddon is about; one day God is bored about the dull life we live, so He brings home the true believers to have a party elsewhere, and the rest of us can keep going on here in our misery. No big wars or disasters.

LOL, yeah it's 5:30pm in the arvo here in Oz & nothing
suspecious has happened. Like you said 2000 years out of
date! :-D
Maybe it's one of those midnightie things when the world blows
up on the strike of Midnight on the date line or something -
which mean's this could be a last night of sleep.
But personally, I don't believe this'll happen!

Revelation 13
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

a remake? I think I had heard there was going to be one, but I didn't think it would be out that soon.
