Ummm, Y2K went out when 2000/2001 came around. The world did NOT come to an end, the computers did NOT go back to 1900, which I don't see how they could since computers weren't AROUND in 1900.

6 June 2006 is no different from 6 June 1996, 6 June 2026, etc etc. People just play with the numbers to make whatever kind of fantastic statements they can come up with.
Now, on a more serious note, who do I sue? I quit my job yesterday assuming I wouldn't have to report today, and now I have some major kissing up to do

Once I get there, there is somewhere else.Is it the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?

Well, I suppose we all could have any amount of endless fun creating outrageous and silly 'predictions' about 6/6/06. I already did so.

I made it a point to listen to Iron Maiden's Number of The Beast. Other than that it was just another day.
The next doomsday I heard about is December 12 something. Crud! I can't remember the year. It's the day that the Mayan calender stops.

Like in the movie the Omen. Damion has a set of three 6's, the mark of the beast. Not a set of three 6's and a zero.

I thought I heard somewhere that the next doomsday is supposed to be June 12 this year or something. So I guess I got a few more days to live

Ummm, Y2K went out when 2000/2001 came around. The world did NOT come to an end, the computers did NOT go back to 1900, which I don't see how they could since computers weren't AROUND in 1900.
Actually, the reason Y2K was thought of, was because of 2000 coming up, people believed that computers couldn't go up to 2000, because people believed manufactures of computers didn't set computers up to go past the 20th century, and not the 21st century.
So... it could have happened, technically, and it would have been quite a mess, because I do remember that it did happen to some computers, my Grandfather's went back to 1986. That was because it was so old I don't think it ever had the right date to began with, but, oh well. It was a superstition and something that could have happened... heh. ^.^ Just thought I'd share.
---------------------------------6-6-06----------------------------------------
Well, on that day! Guess what I did? ^.^ I went to Six Flags Great America! Wh00t! Look at me go! I went on the Batman and I went to Hurrican Harbor and I avoided all the creepy dude in tights (Batman, Superman, aka Gay-men)... and I got kind of bored. o.O I also went home and slept four hours straight! wh00t! The only thing bad for me was that I forgot my sun tan lotion... though, I don't tan or burn. Heh.
-Karra, Over and Out
Oh! I nearly forgot. XD The reason they said the world would end, because the clocks going back may send computers slowing and running down. The world is and was nearly completely ruled by the computer, or tech, and it would nearly end the world as people knew and know it... so... I believe they meant the world "ending" as all the world ending in a way they knew it. XD
"There is no noise in my ears. There is no breath hin my lungs, even the slight mewl that had once was pushed out of my lungs has dissapeared. My paws are cold, and they do not move. My eyes are closed and they will not open. I cannot see. I cannot hear. I cannot think straight... where am I? And then it seems to come so quickly, I fear the result, but the words are here... I hear them sifting over me;I am dead."
