Real-Life Damien Born June 6, 2006
First there was this:
Around the country, some superstitious mothers-to-be took steps Tuesday to make sure their babies were not born on the most bedeviling of dates, 6-6-6.
In New York, “people are canceling left and right because of what today represents,” said Liza Washington, an administrative assistant at Children’s Hospital of the New York-Presbyterian Medical Center.
In Wichita, Kan., a woman suddenly realized that her delivery date was June 6, and asked her doctor to delay the birth, said Dr. James Whiddon of the obstetrics and gynecology department at Wichita Clinic.
Another baby was born early because of 666.
Tabitha Unternahrer of Wayland, Iowa, was supposed to have a C-section on Tuesday but called her doctor and had the date moved up. Her daughter, Taryn Reney, was born May 31.
And so forth.
But then there’s this cinema fan from the UK. I like the part where she prayed for the child to be born on 06/06/06. :-) Bwa-hah-hah.
A HORROR film fan who prayed that her baby would be born on 6.6.06 named her new boy DAMIEN.
The boy — weighing SIX lb SIX oz — was born SIX days after his mum was first induced.
Special needs teacher Suzanne Cooper chose the name as horror classic The Omen is her favourite film.
A remake of the film was released yesterday starring Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick as Devil’s son Damien.
Suzanne, 36, said: “We’re overjoyed about the baby. The Omen is one of our favourite films and that’s why I was keeping my legs crossed for a birth on the 6th.
And age 36 = 6 x 6, very good.
In New York, “people are canceling left and right because of what today represents
Tuesday?
Geez. We can put a man on the moon, and a robot on Mars, and yet we still cling to stupid superstitions.
I’m sure some parents did it just to save their kids some grief or embarrassment, or something, but I’m sure others truly felt that 06/06/2006 was a truly evil day.
I work in a court for a judge and he performed two weddings yesterday, on 6/6/06. When reminded of the date they replied they wanted to get married on that date because it was 666.
She’ll not be so smug when that big black dog starts hanging about.
Those parents should be in jail… for being tacky.
5. “Oddly enough it only happens once – I don’t see the problem”
I also think it’s stupid but it happened on
6 June 1906
6 June 1806
6 June 1706
6 June 1606
…
And it will happen again on
6 June 2106
6 June 2206
6 June 2306
6 June 2406
…
Not that it means anything at all, why can’t people understand that 666 is just a number! It is mindless to think that 666 can have any special meaning at all.
I wonder who ever thought of this senseless idea?
LOL at #6, I just watched the original the other day. They don’t need to worry unless they find the birth mark.
Actually, I found out on 6/6/2006 that my younger brother is getting shipped off to Iraq. That’s enough for me to qualify it as an evil day.

Excellent. Thanks, RT.
