Had an odd moment today ... while messing with one of the old www apps we use - 06.06.06 as date showed up.
omg. this app is doomed ! Armaggedon ! etc ...
Ok, what is day what month and which part is year ? year-month-day? day-month-year? month-day-year? (all variants are quite likely)
damn. Have to check the source.

Be happy it's not 1666 anymore.

At 06.06 am this morning the newsreaders on the BBC freaked out a bit.

666 is the sign of the beast, basically it means that if you have it on you it's because you are warshiping a cow or some other type of beast as a false idol. I dunno how it got all mixed up with the apocolypse and doomsdays, damn Hollywood.

The article goes on to observe: "They are not the only ones to note the significance of the date. Film company 20th Century Fox has chosen the same date to launch its remake of the 1976 horror classic The Omen, in which a man comes to realise his son is the Antichrist."

"Revelation 13" sounds unfamiliar?
The Beast out of the Earth
"11Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."
And now for something completely different! :D
When the CPU manufacturer Intel introduced the 666 MHz Pentium III in 1999, they chose to market it as the “Pentium III 667”, claiming that, since the actual clock speed was 666.666 MHz, 667 was the more accurate approximation, against their usual rounding practice...

And of course, 445 is the Port of the Beast.
