Quick 666 Survey: How Many of Your Fellow Co-Workers Come Out as Born-Agains Today? →[More:] I've already had one person in my office here start up about "that Slayer band". Tell me your JC-related paranoia/judgments/etc. stories!

We only have one religious nut here and he's a Jehovah's Witness. A very chubby guy named Rolondo who wears dress shirts way too tight and works in IT. He pamphlets on the street during lunch hour, but other than that he's an OK guy.

I just realized I haven't seen him today.

Exactly none. Looks like we are gonna be on 0 on the secret-born-again-O-meter all day.

None. Everyone in my office has a rational view of superstition.

Exactly none. My boss, who is a Lutheran, was lol'ing about this earlier. Apart from that, I can't see any evidence that anyone around here gives a shit.

One (particularly superstitious) guy came up to me and said, "It's six-six-six!"

I pretended not to understand, and asked, "Sex, sex, sex?"

"What? No, it's June 6, 2006, you know, the number of the devil?"

"Never heard of it."

I'm such an asshole.

I've been cheerily wishing everyone I see a Happy Day of the Beast all day.

Zero.

We have a few religious people, but none of them are so stupid as to believe that an arbitrarily shortened date has anything to do with their preferred magical fairy tales.

I don't have any co-workers and we're all heretics here at Casa de Beasties.

I don't have any co-workers. Unless you count the kid. But last week she countered her (also 4 year old) cousin's claim that god made everyone with a clumsy attempt at explaining evolution. Then they started hitting each other. So I don't think she's born again. If she is, she's really bad at it.

Most of my fellow engineers pushed their drawings through early so that the revisions would be marked "060606". (I caught a couple of them high-fiving and devil-horns-ing each other).

...So I guess not.
