Evil is upon us!

robert@fm · 11 Sep 2002, 04:54 AM

Well-known forum member kirill has, at time of writing, exactly 666 posts!  And it's nearly two months until Hallowe'en...

P.S.  Not that I wish to suggest that he's evil, after all the help he continues to give, but I like odd coincidences like this...

The first things that came to my mind when I saw the heading was: "Bin Laden is back".

It's a good that the post was not dated Sep 11.

I agree, the closeness of said date didn't occur to me until you mentioned it...

I like the temporary new look of this site, it's very fitting.

Everyone here has surpassed 13 by a long shot.

In the Japanese culture the numbers 4 and 9 are considered bad. The number 4 is pronounced "shi" and the number 9 is pronounced "ku." Shi also means death; ku like in "kurushii" means painful or distressing.

So who's superstitious about numbers?

That last bit is interesting; "kurushii" is close to the Russian for "very good" ("koroshoi" IIRC — hence the Nadsat word "horrorshow").

That't right! Long live Anthony Burgess! BTW, Drencrom is a Nadsat word too.

My 666th post went by without me noticing at the time.

Hopfully mentioning address.com's URL forwarding won't bring anyone to wreck & ruin.

I've always found 4 and 7 to be my lucky numbers
