My boss opened the flood gates and unleashed his wrath on our team. Well, it wasn't really that bad, and it's not like it hasn't happened before, so I don't think it counts.

Seems the prices were only reduced in Canada. MacBytes has finally caught up with the 'international' news. :p

Yeah, went to the Canadian store a little while ago. Must've been a price adjustment for the Canadian dollar.

Wish they'd slash the prices on our iPods.
 
The ignition coil in my 2002 Audi TT (2 months out of warranty) failed yesterday just as I was getting ready to return to Charlotte after watching the 'Canes beat the Oilers Monday night. Luckily, the car still drove (in a lurching manner... it was missing all sorts of cylinder firings), and I was able to get it to the local Audi dealership. Took about 90 minutes (and $168) to get it replaced, but the car works fine now.

Eerily, I noticed that the place where my Mom and I had lunch earlier had an ABC (Alcoholic Beverage Control) license on the wall... and the license number was "66666". (Seriously.)

Still, glad it happened while I was in a big town and not while I was on the road.
 
Just the usual, wrote some perl scripts. Ate lunch at my favorite hole in the wall pizza joint. Fought with Dell some more. Got yelled at some more for schedule risk. Grilled some "yard bird" last night. Worked on a few webpages. Just the usual so it had it's ups and downs. I give the day a 6 :p
 
Other than some local morons defacing churches and synagogues with inverted crosses not much happened. Go figure.

I am trying to picture this, but I can't.

First, I think cross-eyed, then eyes rolled back in the head. All my further ideas run into all kinds of problems with 3-dimensions, physics and negative space.

Well, it's from Buffy, you shouldn't expect it to make too much sense
 
Actually, come to think of it, two strange things happened right after people asked me questions....

I was talking about how fun prom had been with a coworker, and she asked me what my dates name was.....and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't think of it for several minutes, even though I've talked to her almost every day for the last 6 months....:rolleyes:

Later yesterday evening I had just picked up my friend and was pulling out of the parking lot and he said "So you like driving a stick...eh?", and right as he said that I ground the gears putting it into 2nd. I never grind the gears. :eek:
 
I thought the number refered to a person, not a date. From Wikipedia:

The value of “Neron Caesar”, written as נרון קסר, “Nrwn Qsr”, using Hebrew letters with numerical values under the form of numerology called Gematria, is:

As noted above, some early texts of the Book of Revelation give the number as 616 instead of 666, which would represent the alternative Hebrew spelling נרו קסר, “Nrw Qsr”, based on the Latin form “Nero Caesar”:

-I almost hit a cat driving.
Its ok on Saturday i want to say... i almost hit a turtle crossing the street:eek: Swear to god. Luckily i swerved and it went under the car so it was hurt. I couldn't believe what i saw so i turned around and went back and sure enough it was a huge turtle maybe like a good foot and half long....
 
I could maybe understand it if the date was 6/6/6. But it isn't. It's 6/6/06. Or 6/6/2006, if you prefer. There's extra numbers in there and everything. And I'm pretty sure that 662,006 isn't the number of The Beast and his fell legions...
 
On 6/6/6 I burnt my hand with a little sulfuric acid, in chemistry class. Nothing serious, it just hurt a lot.
 
My iMac G5's power supply finally blew.

I set the startup disk on my MacBook to the Ubuntu CD, and couldn't get it to start back up into Mac OS X.

I took a Math exam and got 50%.


... Yeah, not a very fun day. :eek:

Ouch, sounds like a not so good day- sorry to hear about your misfortune. :(
 
The frogs in my Science class stayed were floating and the two of them made a cross and this girl started to freak out because she' afraid of frogs or something and the thought she was going to be killed or something.

HAHA!

I just burst out laughing... frogs forming a cross sounds like a B-Grade TV movie.
 
I realized it is exactly 3 months until my birthday (on 6/6/06)
