Beware of 6-6-06

[xifeng]

Actually, when I was driving to The Morg the other day, I was listening to 96.1 on account of that's all I can get out there, and they were talking about the Number of the Beast. (Being Catholic, this was never the big, scary deal to me that it is to some people; in any case, I'm of the historicist school that the book of Revelations probably refers to the reign of Nero.) Anyway, one of the DJs commented that some scholars think the number in question is actually 616, which is also the area code for Grand Rapids, MI. He then remarked, "Well, if I had to guess where the Antichrist will arise on earth, Grand Rapids is a pretty good guess."

Anyway, this morning, I slipped in the shower, came down heavy on both knees, and now have a fabulous six-inch bruise on my right shin. (Like being on the rag wasn't enough?) It could have been a lot worse--I didn't bang my head, wrench my spine, knock out teeth, or break anything, so I'm glad I got off easy with just the bruise. That said, it still hurts like hell, though less so than it did.

(Initially, I did think I might have broken my shin, except a.) I've never broken anything so I have no idea what it feels like and b.) I can walk normally, drive, and navigate stairs, so odds are it's fine.)

Big wheels a-turning. More on this later, perhaps, if everyone does all their chores and eats their vegetables. ♥

Nothing says love like sharing your cold ;)

Twu waab is a breeding ground for germs, it would seem ;)

OUCH! I've Done That Before {But I Passed Out In The Shower And Fell} And It Hurts! I Hope You Feel Better Soon! ::Big Hugs::

I do too! The bruise isn't horrible, but it still hurts if I cross my legs or lean on something. In my younger years, I frequently took my shins for granted.

*hugs*

OUCH! Poor Lee!

Pity my poor cat; Callice doesn't understand why her mommy wails with pain and pushes her away when she tries to butt her head into my shins. ._.;

Awwwwww!

What I find creepy about 6-6-06 is when the sheets of glass come down and chop off the head of the priest. Well, one of the priests anyway. At least I think he was a priest. Now that's gotta hurt.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, that was a bit freakish. I didn't expect to see it in the middle of Evansville, of all places.

[forgottensanity.livejournal.com]

I thought you'd heard? The Supreme Evil has moved its headquarters to Evansville. Didn't you see the signs? It was all over the news. Why, they even did a part on it in Denmark. You're so wrapped up in your work that you miss out on everything, it would seem.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's what that construction was! I did think that was kind of an odd place to put an office building, right out in the middle of the intersection, but who knows what architects are smoking anymore.

[forgottensanity.livejournal.com]

It couldn't be Supreme Evil's HQ if it 1) didn't bother people and 2) was somewhere where people couldn't see it. Why be The Supreme Evil if you can't flaunt it?

That's what they teach in Supreme Evil School anyway. Not that I would know, of course, not having been accepted attended there.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Well, the Supreme Evil School needs to raise their standards, then. If you didn't attend, then clearly someone put the handbook AND their course notes online in a huge PDF file for folks like you to download and read.

And where would we be if THAT happened? WHERE, I ask you.

Awww, thanks. ^_^
