I am making a prediction

I just realized that this year will have the date of June 6th, 2006 or rather (US format) 06/06/06. This date will have a spike in suicides because of all the unstable people in the world. This is only my guess based on past human history of date intersection.

My prediction is that 06/06/06 will pass with just as much fanfare and attention as was paid to
01:02:03 04/05/06 earlier this year. That is to say, it will pass completely un-noticed.

My prediction is that Apple will come out with a low end Apple Mac with the design of the Apple 1 and price it at the price of the original Apple 1....$666.66!

Don't mind me....I haven't had breakfast yet.

The 06/06/06 will be approximately as catastrophic or interesting as Y2K.
A big fuss and nothing else.

Besides

And Japanese, and some other calendars as well ..

The only interesting part was that Steve announced the transition to Intel processors on 6 June 05, to be within a year. Heh. I figured it would have been exactly in one year of that.

I predict that on 6/6/06, everyone of us who has a prediction about something will go through a major metamorphosis and look like this:



OH THE SHEER HORROR!!!!!





....And still no breakfast!
