I can't help but wonder why usually normal human beings have innate superstitions about the impending end of the world on June 6, 2006. (06.06.06).

Yes, the day will come just like all the other 666 dates in history and I will still get up and make coffee after feeding the cats all while the world continues revolving on its axis. People will be born, will buy cars, make lemonade, vaccuum, paint their toenails, eavesdrop, drive too fast, take one too many items into the express lane check out, find a lost dog, jaywalk, paint their houses and all without the paranoia of a visit from the anti-christ!
