It's true that many Mexicans took this date very serious. I guess they have a somewhat special relation to supernatural things (and to death as well). Some people at Volkswagen didn't like the idea of having a meeting today because they thought it would have a bad outcome. And in similar ways quite a lot of people believed in some kind of effect.As far as I can see nothing happened. And if there really was something at 06:06:06 in the morning: I still slept at that time of the day (or better NIGHT).

Dear Christian,
if you tried to scare me with THAT picture of you - it is a miserable failure.
While trying to find an acceptable translation for the German phrase "beömmeln", I discovered a real nice one:
To piss oneself laughing. Further interpretations not necessary - I think :-)
Have a nice time, see you soon!
(Nearby: met Dr. Kothe at Hagen University - still Mr. Sarcasm himself. Quote: "'Course we know you got some secret talents, Mr. Massmeier. And you are very good in hiding them as well!"
Hey, I never meant to scare anybody. It was meant as a "funny one". Well, well... Once in my life I follow your principle: "Never miss a chance to make a fool of yourself" and what happens? You don't understand me... :(

Interesting picture... Glad to see, you made it - you've finally gone crazy. Welcome to my world! ;-)
I thought, since you asked about that number, I might as well add something useful to your blog (while trying to distract myself from writing my thesis ^^). The number is mentioned in the bible - Book of Revelation 13:16-18 just to be precise - as the number of the beast. Around there somewhere it says: "And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names" (those who know me, know i like that sci-fi stuff ;-)). Although critics say, that there may be an error in the translation and the real "number of the beast" is 616.
BTW: just to bring some math to this: try to add up the square numbers of the first seven prime numbers. Guess what might come out. Creepy, huh? *g* Same with Roulette. If you add up all the numbers on a roulette wheel (0 - 36) you will see that none other than the devil himself invented it. :-P
Anyway... have to continue my thesis now.
Keep the world informed. ^_^
Thanks for informing the world, too. At least my little blog world.
Good luck writing your thesis!
Oh my..... I told you once you get old you start to do strange things... gosh... and this is just the beginning I guess...... now we know what happen when you mix age and tequila or chili.... where this 666 things has many meanings, apart the one Michael gives you, which i guess most of the people now, there is a mathematical explanation too:
The number 666 is a simple sum and difference of the first three 6th powers:
666 = 16 - 26 + 36.
or: The following fact is quite well known, but still interesting: If you write the first 6 Roman numerals, in order from largest to smallest, you get 666:
DCLXVI = 666.

Oh well let go back to work

This picture causes quite some comments :-) Just as I intended...
Thanks for all this additional information!
