Happy 666!

Urbanity

It's 6/6/6! Reason for a party, especially over here: Rotterdam turns 666 today. However some people take 666 a bit too seriously:

Yvonne Colon-Stewart, who is nine months pregnant with a boy, didn't give the date a second thought, until a friend brought it up. "I think it's only natural that parents wouldn't want their baby born on the day that's marked for the Devil," said Yvonne.

Aw. Poor woman. Tonight it'll be 666Fest at the Melkweg for me, with Alexisonfire and more music of the devil aka rock and roll.

Word of the day

Anglosphere

Says the Beeb:

The fear of the number 666 is known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.

That's one to remember for Scrabble.
