So who else is ready?

Seeing how tomarrow is the day the Demon Army will launch it's attack , I've gotten myself prepared. Anyone with any sense knows that Satan's army is immune to modern weapons such as guns and bombs. Therefore we'll have to old school it. I have swords and battle axes in abundance. Also fire extinguishers. There are ballistas stationed at both doors and I rigged up booby traps on all the windows. I doused the house with holy water and I have Crucifix that doubles as a crossbow. Like any wise warrior preparing for siege I have also stocked nourishment. I have beer, Dr.Pepper, and canned ravioli in bulk. Also those orange Tic-Tacs. My arsenal also includes various books of non-black magic.

Those of you who have failed to prepare are welcome to seek refuge in my fortress. Just make your way to Florence Ms, mine will probably be the only house standing , no one else here in Florence seems to have a clue!

Only a few hourse left till the Netherworld's Army hits.

I have "Reign In Blood" ready to spin when I get up. I'm thinking of burning some churches maybe, and being generally grim and necro. I'm hoping Satan's army will pass me by when they realise I'm a true believer.


Just know.................( epic warrior voice on) If we meet on the field of battle, I will kill you!
 
Just so you know, 666 doesn't really mean the number of the devil. I'm a little hazy on the details, so anyone who knows more about this sort of thing feel free to correct me.

The story is that the emperor at the time, Nero, was corrupt and power hungry, as most Emperors were during that time. So, whenever people wanted to make fun of him, instead of calling him by name (which was a good method of dieing) people called him by this number. Well, 666 is the number imbued on the beast's forehead in some section of the book. The people who wrote that section were just taking a shot at a political leader.

So there ya go you stupid satanists. ;) It doesn't mean anything.

Edit - Heh, I just realized that my school is doing a carnival tomorrow. Cool.

Some also believe that it was mistranslated and is acutally 616

Read "Cracking the Apocalypse Code" by Gerard Bodson. It's an interesting narrative and can be found for under $10. It explains this and other numerology phenomena found in religious texts. It really isn't suggestive, and it doesn't "preach." It may just be a bunch of hokum, but it's definitely worth the read. I finished it in a day and a half.
 
It's already 6/6/06 over here in Korea, and it really is much ado about nothing. We've had a minor, repeat, MINOR zombie infestation, but it's more of a nuisance and not something that can't be handled with a Louisville Slugger and a can of OFF. I wouldn't fret none.
