Briefly OT:
My sister’s 25th wedding anniversary works out to 6/6/06. She and her husband are throwing a “hell”-themed party. I think she’s wearing a red dress and devil horns, and he’s wearing a silver tux.
I guess they’re not the ones who are objecting to “hello.”
…so, if you must say “heaven-o” instead of “hello,” does that mean you would have to shout, “Heavenlp! Heavenlp! I’m drowning!!”
Ooooh, I hadn’t even thought of that. You suppose the world is going to stop turning and WWIII is going to break out and stuff?
(On a marginally interesting note, we just passed 4/5/6, if you figure dates that way. Or we’re coming up on 4/5/6, if you figure dates that way.)
Worse: I saw this on one of the national morning “news” programs. They made quite a point of the fact that at 3 seconds after 01:02 AM on that date, it would be exactly 1:02:03 on 4/5/6.
This is important information, evidently.

Okay, I think things like that are kinda cool (I like catching my clock at 12:34 and stuff like that), but I’m not broadcasting it as news!
Similarly, you cannot spell Analyst Therapist without Anal Rapist.
USA Today reported this, and also pointed out that this won’t happen again until April 5, 3006.
Apparently, the years 2106, 2206, 2306, 2406, 2506, 2606, 2706, 2806, and 2906 have been cancelled until further notice.
