While driving to work on the road this morning, I heard from radio that today is 06/06/06 - the EVIL DAY. Is today an apocalyptic day that could trigger violence, demonstrations or evil activity? Or, in other words, is today the end of the world?
The Bible says that six-six-six adds up to evil. That's the number, by which the Beast, the Anti-christ, will be known. So number 666 is commonly known as the “Number of the Beast,” based on the Old Testament Book of Revelation 13:17-18.
Other facts about 666:
In the United States, 666 is a brand-name cough syrup.
666 is the sum of all the numbers on a typical roulette wheel.
666 is the sum of the squares of the first seven prime numbers.
The editing for The Exorcist happened at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York.
Back in 1960's and 1970's in China, 666 (六六六) is a brand name of a popular household insect killer chemical.
On June 5, 2003, New Mexico renumbered its share of the 190-mile-long U.S. Highway 666 — sometimes called "The Devil's Highway" — into the less ominous Highway 491, with Colorado and Utah following suit. The old designation was scaring away tourists, state officials said.
Last month, school and law enforcement officials in Maryland and Rhode Island had to check into rumors of "Columbine-like attacks" said to be plotted for today.
So, is today realy going to be an evil day?
I don't think so. Back to a century ago, nothing bad happened on this date in 1906. Or at least nothing apocalyptic.
Or in 1806, or in 1706.
Is today somewhat different from today in 1706, 1806, or 1906? Very unlikely.
So today is going to come and go, and it'll be just another day - as usual. People are going to have baby birth, there are going to be patients die in the hospitals, we are going to see stock exchange on Wall Street, and we are going to be just fine like yesterday.
Happy 666 and have a nice day!

Also did some reading about 666:
666 is the numbers of glass panes made of the pyramid at Louvre.
666 as number of beast The Number of the Beast is mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the Christian New Testament and has long been accepted to be 666 (or, in some cases, 616). The meaning of the number is debated. In some interpretations of Christian eschatology the “Beast” is believed to refer to a being controlled by or equated with the Antichris.
Many Christian intellectuals believe that the number was simply a reference to a Roman emperor who persecuted Christians. The Caesar generally deemed to fit that role is Domitian, although some prefer the better-known, but less likely Nero. Either way, these thinkers postulate that Christians used the number as a code to reference his name or that Caesar himself may have favored that number for numerological reasons. In some numerologies, a triple six could symbolize a trinity of unfaithfulness, bitterness, and vengeance, while in others it could as easily symbolize harmony, beauty, and charm.
666 as a name One interpretation is that 666 encodes the letters of someone’s name or title, identifying the Antichrist. However, since the reader is free to choose the code, any name can be matched to the number by finding an appropriate code, cf. Vicarius Filii Dei.
666 as less than God The number 7 is mentioned throughout the Bible; from Genesis to Revelation. The Bible uses the number 7 to represent perfection and wholeness; ; Judges 16:13-19, Proverbs 9:1, 2 Chron 29: 20-21, Genesis 21:28-30, Lev 16:19, Lev 23:15, and Lev 25:1-9.
Since Christians worship a triune God, the number 777 is assumed to represent God; one 7 for each aspect: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. However, the number 777 does not appear in the Bible, but neither does the term Trinity.
The number 6 is the number of man and therefore some believe that the number 666 represents someone who is less perfect than God in every respect.
