(AP) HELL, Michigan -- This Tuesday, it'll be a hot time in Hell.
Tuesday marks the once-in-a-millennium date of 6-6-06. It's a spot on the calendar watched carefully in the small Michigan town named Hell, about 60 miles west of Detroit.
The date comes close to the number 666, which signifies the devil in the Bible's Book of Revelation. In anticipation, radio stations as far away as San Diego and Seattle have been raffling off trips to Hell. Live entertainment and a costume contest are also planned.
One local businessman is especially fired up. He's selling souvenir mugs and T-shirts marked "666," which also come with a letter stating the owner spent June 6, 2006 in Hell.
Though the exact reasons are in dispute, the Michigan hamlet has been officially known as Hell since 1841.

Rob Zombie (or even Alice Cooper) would be a better MC.

Nice little town in the lakes area of SE Michigan. Cruising around on the interconnected waterways on a warm summer evening is some of the best fun one can have.

Though the exact reasons are in dispute, the Michigan hamlet has been officially known as Hell since 1841. It might have had something to do with the town's main business, the making and sale of adult beverages.

Techically it's not 6-6-6.
It's 6-6-2006.
But I understand the novelty presents itself to pop culture attention.

On Tuesday "The Omen - 2006" will have its US release. I am sorry, I must be getting oldER. There is no way in Damien Thorn's Hell that Julia Stiles could ever play role that once played by Lee Remick, NEVER!

Agreed.
But David Thewlis will do rather well when the glass pane does it's....thing.
I can almost see him whipping a wand out and yelling, "EXPELIARMUS!!" at it as it slides toward his neck.

the hebrew alphabet is also a number system... therefore, the number 6 = W in hebrew and 666 = WWW
