What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you
(and remember, you can always e-mail me if you love or loathe anything you're about to read)...

   HAIL SATAN!

Yes, everyone's snickering over today's date -- 6/6/6 -- and, with all the devil-themed silliness going on today, it feels like Halloween in June:

-- the Church of Satan is hosting a satanic high mass in Los Angeles and High Priest Peter Gilmore will 'bless' those who "champion reason, pluralism, skepticism and abundant joy in life" (which sounds pretty good, actually!)

-- the 'National Day of Slayer' with the band printing 666 limited edition T-shirts

-- the heavy metal band Viking Skull are playing in London UK, with tickets priced at £6.66.

-- the remake of The Omen is being released

-- the ever-creepy Ann Coulter releases her latest book, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," proving once and for all that her ranting schtick is just one bad comedy routine

My personal favourite is this headline, "Some expect Antichrist on Tuesday." I of course immediately thought of this bit :

ROMANA: He says he's planning to destroy the world. Next Tuesday.
THE DOCTOR: How vulgar. Nothing important happens on a Tuesday!
-- from Gareth Roberts' "Doctor Who" novel "The English Way of Death"

So there you have it. Unless you'll argue that, while the Doctor is a fictional character, Satan is real. In that case, we're done talking.
