Way to go, Mygoth, you tell them horny geeks from Metafilter what they can do until they fix your hard drive!"

In the original 'Omen', which I think came out in 1976, was Damien born on 6-6-66?

ooh ooh ooh ooh
Is there a roster of Satan babies yet?
please oh please oh please

dammitalltahell this day has been so unSatany.
The worst thing i did so far was have loud sex in front of family programming.

Bah. I think it'd be cool to be born on a wacky date.

(the numeric representation of the month of my birth and the day of my birth are the third and fourth numbers of my birthyear, respectively)

The keeping your legs closed thing is more effective at conception than birth.

And can I just say that I WISH I had kept my legs closed round about April of 2001. My freakin' kid makes Damien look like Beaver Cleaver today. Are there military preschools?

Gah. What a bunch of idiots.

On a higher plane of existence, this scene takes place inside Demi-Cinderella, as she strides to The Ball, crushing cities in her wake.

What, and deprive your future mid-school offspring of unspeeeeekable goth coolness? Abuse, I say.

How did I get mixed up in this? My kids had to be both be born within three weeks of Christmas to ensure me maximum winter financial pain, each and every year. ;-) And my hard drive is languishing, still unfixed. Sigh. No horny geeks at my door with linux thumb drives yet.

But seriously, if the daughter I have now were to be born on 6/6/06, it would be a source of great concern to her, and she would no doubt take it very personally. On the other hand, should she find out that I had intentionally postponed her birth by a day, she might think 666 was her true destiny and feel herself aligned with a dark fate anyway.

There's a NYT piece about these kids and "how they turned out" coming up on 6/6/24. Watch for it.

...if the daughter I have now...

Heh. That makes it sound like you cycle through daughters like, say, some people do Buicks.
