A Pinoy Blog About Nothing

666 crazy anyone? Maybe just a case of hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia - fear of the number 666.

There’s a totally unnecessary remake of the movie Omen opening Tuesday to take advantage of the 06-06-06 date.

There’s a town called Hell in Michigan which is throwing a party on 06-06-06 to attract tourists and sell merchandise.

Of course for some people, it’s their birthday. This girl is turning 6. No word yet if they’ve searched her for a birthmark.

And then there are couples who are inducing births so that their kid won’t have to be born on June 06, 2006.

You don’t have to be a movie buff, go to Michigan or be pregnant to join in the errr festivities. 06-06-06 is also The Day of Slayer. Unfortunately it has nothing to do with Buffy. Set the volume to max and play music by Slayer all day.

Of course in the past, 06-06-06 was an ominous date: the ship Lusitania was torpedoed in the Atlantic bringing the U.S. into the First World War.

Lots of meanings given to a number. I’d rather commemorate Yo-Yo Day, a toy which can trace its origins to the Philippines.

In the end 06-06-06 is just a number. Like my IQ — all two digits of them. ;)

(And speaking of numbers, Ratner’s X3 slips 67% in the box-office to be overtaken by Jennifer Aniston’s Break-Up. Heh. This after Ratner’s humble acceptance of being the ‘King of Hollywood‘)
