It appears that the Antichrist was [born yesterday](http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=17188458&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=born-at-6am-on-06-06-06--his-mum-was-induced-for-6-days--he-weighs-6lbs-6oz-and-he-s-called---d-name_page.html) in Bristol. Born at the 6th hour of the 6th day of the 6th month of the 6th year of the millenium. His mother was induced for 6 days. He weighed 6 lbs and 6 oz. at birth. His name is Damien. The mother of Satan’s spawn is very happy: > [@](#): > > She said: "We are overjoyed about the baby. The Omen is one of our favourite films and that’s why I was keeping my legs crossed for a birth on the 6th. Congratulations to the happy couple and keep an eye on the housekeeper. ---

If she’s kept her legs crossed she wouldn’t have been pregnant. ---

[QUOTE=Mindfield] And balls. [/QUOTE] [Balls for kids](http://www.colbertnation.com/colbertnation/balls.jhtml)? I always knew the prophecy was right: _The Devil will arise in the West_ country. I hear the family is moving to the US soon, they want to move down to Georgia. ---

As long as he hasn’t got horns or a tail, I’m sure he’s fine. 🙂 ---

People, this is the frigging _Daily Mirror_ we’re talking about here. I’d like to see some of these facts backed up elsewhere. That a baby was born in Bristol around six o’clock on the 6th June 2006 - I’ll buy that. But calling it _Damien_? ---

Do multiple sixes cancel it out? Only, my friend was panicking about signing for her house at 6pm on 6/6/06 and I told her it was fine, only 3 sixes count. I’ve let her down, haven’t I? ---

[QUOTE=AngelicGemma] I would have! 😃 [/QUOTE] So would I. You’d think that after growing up in the 80’s with a middle name of Madonna, I’d be a bit more nice to my future kids - but there’s no way I’d pass up an opportunity like that. Then again, any kids I have will learn early on that a sick sense of humor is a good thing.
