The real time to worry would have been at 3:00 a.m., this morning. Since it is the Devil's Witching hour (since it has been believed that Christ died at 3:00 p.m. , also representing the Holy Trinity, 3:00 a.m. is the time mocking this).

But lets not forget, the Great London Fire of 1666.

Learning about that one was a little chilling.

I only have one small problem with this story and it may be because I am misunderstanding something.

By the end of the fire some four fifths of the City had been destroyed, approximately 13,200 houses, 87 churches and 50 Livery Halls over an area of 436 acres.

How can that be? I did some figuring and if 13,200 houses, 87 churches and 50 livery halls were in 436 acres, that meant that each of those buildings had an average footprint of 3.7 square feet. Those are some small buildings! Not likely.

How do you figure? There are 43,560 square feet in an acre... multiply by 436, and you have 18,992,160. Divide that by the 13,337 buildings... and you get 1,424 per building...

Figure maybe at most a 500 square foot footprint per house (which, really, is way too generous)... that's only 6,600,000, which would leave over 12 million square feet for the 137 other buildings and the spaces between all of them... and, certainly everything was close together...

Seems plausible to me...

Yeah, the world should have ended 2000 years ago, when it was 6/6/6....people are basically idiots....fuck Michigan.

However, you are forgetting that the people in 6/6/6 didn't realize that was the day since our current calendar didn't exist yet! A lot of them thought they were simply living in the 33rd year of Augustus' reign.

Seriously, the hoopla around this date is ridiculous. I simply hope some wack-job psychos don't use this it as a reason for another Columbine.

My daughter's Elementary school was in lockdown yesterday for about an hour. Don't think this didn't cross my mind.
