That triple 6 numbers...what is it all about (say this in "alfie" way). For a starter, those who read the Christian Bible or study it will come across such verse prophesicing on the number 666 as the coming of the Devil, the number and mark of The Beast....and anything associated with EVIL (source: Book of Revelation, 13:17,18)
666 also can be interpreted as www, whereby "vav" is the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabets, pronounced as "waw". "www" also means world wide web. That prompted people to relate www to 666 equals to DEVIL again.
(other examples of numbers that symbolises bad omen: Four is the unlucky number for the chinese. Four means death in chinese language. 13 is synonymous to bad luck for the westerners (espeically christians) as in Friday the 13th.)
Today, Hollywood has relased the remake of the horror classic movie: The Omen. The original movie was released on 06-06-1976, exactly 30 years ago. And today is 06-06-06. They (the producers, hollywood) probably wanted to reenact this movie to signify the date such that it might bring more impact on the audience (hence more cash flow). We gonna see another "Damien Thorn" doing his devillish, menacing glare and smile. This whole Damien Thorn reborn thing and trying to relate his birth with the American catastrophes like the September 11th...i dunno...kinda tired of this whole barrage of Armageddon, holier-than-thou things that seemed to have its starting points in the USA. However , ironically, that movie Armageddon (1998) showed a bombing scene of the World Trade Centre. Three years later, such mishap became a reality. Was that really some kind of an omen or trying to instil some ideas into some people's (deranged ones) head?
On another note, I did enjoy watching the original The Omen movie. Its sequels aren't bad either (the 3rd one sucks a bit though, as if Damien hasnt matured enuf). They made u wanna watch the 1st one again and again just to make sure u understand how it all began. I can never forget that big black crow which portrayed the devil's "minion" to carry the death penalty of whomsoever that annoys/harms Damien besides serving as the apocalyptic sign to death itself. Damien also used big rottweiler dogs as another potentially gruesome animals to carry his evil job.
Lets pray to God to protect us from any form of evil and catastrophes, aameeeen....

Hi ya Manal :-) I think Hollywood had that `666' date in mind already before they even started on the remake ... part of their `brilliant' marketing ploy, I suppose ... still prefer the original movie, though.
But it's all perceptions, I guess ... like how 666 is actually considered lucky in the Chinese community ...
Hello pugly,
