666, mark of ‘the beast’ in the bible’s book of Revelations , the total sum of the Roman numerals in the name Nero Caesar, an integer which sales and marketing find oh so sexy due to its curves but stay away from because of its connotation? Those of us who are fairly secular look at this event as nothing more than another blip in the cosmos. It was just another humorous little event just like 00:01:02:03 04/05/06, but there is some significance to 06/06/06 because religious, non-religious, adjunct-religious alike have all been attached to this number.

So thank you, religious, non-religious, and the people that couldn’t be bothered in coming up with their own original idea who decided to re-make “The Omen“. I apologize for the short and incoherent post… the devil made me do it.

I haven’t tootled around my apple IIgs emulator and I was tickled to find that I had an old disk image for “STICKYBEAR TYPING”. I was just going to take a few minutes and knock out a few rounds of “STICKYBEAR THUMP“. Seventeen rounds later, where the graphics of the IIgs fail me and I cannot recognize that the weird pink and black squiggle as a hash/pound mark, I find that I had squandered the majority of my lunch hour and missed a few phone calls. Damn you pappa bear… why are you so addictive.

The weekend is here in Detroit, and with the warm weather this means people planting flowers, barbecues, and junkies overdosing on skunky heroin or cocaine. According to Wayne County, there have been 48 drug-related deaths within the past two weeks, which to the out-of-towner doesn’t seem like a lot for Detroit but heroine isn’t really the drug of choice here. Now this isn’t your normal run-of-the-mill heroin here so all you supermodels, post-teen idols, and out-of-work actors… read carefully.

The painkiller fentanyl, an analog to to morphine but fifty times as strong, has allegedly been produced in basement labs and cut into heroin and or cocaine. Unwitting buyers obtain what they think is heroin and don’t realize that there is a powerful painkiller floating in the mix.

If you happen to hold a grudge against a hollywood scapegrace and happen to have an assload of cash; you can rent the beautiful building that was hacked to bits for the RockStar Energy Drink and Penthouse SuperBowl party, invite said starlet to the event, bring in Detroit’s finest drug dealers, then sit back and watch the bodyguards stand there helplessly.
