Children of Satan reside here

I remember well the moment I first saw the Omen. It was one of those defining moments that imprinted itself so vivdly on my mind that I can still recite great trenches of dialogue from the film. The relevation that evil was alive and well in the world, signified by the 666 really hit home.

So you can imagine my horror when, like many other potential parents, I realised that my first born could appear on 06/06/06. If everything goes pretty much to plan, there's a high likelihood of that happening.

Whilst I'm not overly superstitious, I'm thinking about giving the child a middle name of Lucifer, just to appease. I'm also putting a call into Paddy Power to see what odds they're taking on the number of children named Damien being born on the auspicious date...
