Was today the Upside Down Beast 9/9/9?

Thought some of you might be amused/appalled by this news story re. a religious fanatic who thought it was... Feel free to comment or answer my question. :)

Update:

@ Charis, no, _I_ didn't forget that. Others did.

@XY GTHO, no, not really. I'm really amused due to the FACT that so many people have been posting stuff about 9/9/09 over the last couple of days. And even though my favorite word is "compassion", it does not mean I lose my sense of humor. Would I laugh in the guy's face? No. I feel sorry for him. And I feel sorry for the many people who live with this much fear of gods and devils and numbers, whether sane or not...

    OH psuedo GOD, people need to get over their crazy selves.

    Dates, numbers and times are made up by MAN. Just like the bible. So anything can be fabricated by the simple numbers of 9/9/9. People think too much into their made believe thoughts to come up with bizarre theories and myths.

    This is what happens when imagination gets out of hand and religion becomes creative. ITS JUST NUMBERS.

    I have a feeling that the lunatics are gonna have a field day on the date 10/10/10.

    Oh no! I hope I didn't start something that I'll deeply regret.

    I'm not amused by the story and I'm not frightened by it. I've seen enough stupidity in this world, so nothing like that fazes me.

    Well? If you look at the numbers upside down, then it is the upside down beast.

    I read that in the news too. Interesting. I couldn't think of anything special about the triple9. Now I know.

    But maybe God Is trying to get our attention. The hi jacker did say, 'Jesus is coming back soon!'.

    And right after the rapture, you know what is coming. The BEAST!

    I don't know which I have less respect for, some unbalanced person who believes the whole 666 claptrap or the idiot passengers who were fooled by a juice can with lights on it. I weep for the future.

    It's ironic that your favorite word is "compassion", but you see fit to find amusement in a story about a mentally unbalanced person.

    "Garcia Luna said Flores is a drug addict "

    It was the effects of drugs that led to this distortion of Biblical truth.
