So . . . I think it's safe to say that most of us have made it past the dreaded date of 06/06/06 unscathed.

I was wondering if anyone had any strange tales to tell of yesterday's ominous undertones.

Today has been shytty for me, and seems like it would have been more fitting that today was 06/06/06 . . . I took my car in and found out what I thought would be a cheap, painless fix is going to cost me around $250.00 :( Also, we ran out of coffee at work, and today in general has just been crap . . .

Anyway, I was playing poker with a couple of buddies yesterday, and we were saying how nothing weird happened despite the date. My nephew chimed in saying that he had a customer on the phone whose average daily balance (boring loan terminology) was $6,666.66 . . . .

Well, we chuckled it off and continued with the Texas Hold 'Em game . . . I folded my cards of 6 & 7. The flop came out: 10, 8, 6. Nobody bet, as there the six came, the last card of the flop, just after our conversation about the numbers . . .

The turn comes . . . another 6 . . . this would have given me three 6's had I not folded. Again, nobody bets . . .

The river comes . . . another 6 . . . making it the 3rd 6 in a row!! Nobody bets, and I entusiastically show the 6 that I folded which would have given me an unbeatable 4 of a kind with 6's . . . .

My cousin won with a high card, and the meager pot was all but 6 chips
:eek:

Anyway, it was likely a very, very strange coincidence, but you have to contemplate as to whether or not some strange force was trying to tell us that the numbers mean something :cool:
