i cant see anything happning. if the authorties were thinking the date was significent the chances to do anything would be harder as they would be wathching out for it, a non specfic date would work better.

Louie, you would have thought that they would have come up with a semi-important one, so that it would both be significant, and not draw to much attention to itself.
However, I have to say that they chances of your theory are unlikely. If it was a theory. If not...just a wasted post

Sorry, what was the point of that post? I thought you were talking about Spain having the 311 number, not the US? And given that emergency numbers have to be dialled quickly, it would be weird if 311 wasn't an emergency number.
And no, there is no actual millennium. There is no fixed "date" that the world suddenly "started", so how can you measure a thousand years if you don't know where to start from? And if you're talking about Christ's birth, thats still an arbitrary date.
So, tell me. If there is an "actual millennium" what is the starting point from which you start counting?
And you also nicely side-stepped my point about adding hours to a year. How did this happen without people noticing? If you're going to make outlandish claims, back them up.
Thanks for saving me the time typing this stuff.
Yeah! What she said!
A millennium is 1000 years, think of it as just a measurement tool, like an inch or a yard. People want to assign it a special significance and change it from "a millennia" to "THE Millennia!"
Anytime anyone gets overly excited, I remember that at the end of every century people went doomsday crazy too.

BTW my birthday was 6,6,06 and nothing happend.
so if nothing happens on 7,7,07, is my usless theory just a wasted post or a correct one. and what about Al Queda attacks that happen on non specific dates dont they count, or is it only attacks with groovy dates that matter. if so England shoud be expecting a massive attack on the 9,9,09.

Not only a normal event, but a humanly created one. I would be much more willing to accept the significance of amazing planetary/astrological occurrences rather than calender related events. Granted, I understand calendar and astronomy are related (months, years, etc.) but I don't think the calendar we Anglo's use and galactic occurrences are precisely connected.

I had believed, to some degree, that something unknown would happen. Anything from the sky opening up, to computers crashing around the world, to anything catastrophic like meteors, asteroids, whatever.
He told me that he wasn't concerned, yet. He made mention of some type of thing that had been done to the calender thousands of years ago adding a few hours to ever year, going unnoticed. After a few thousand years, the calender would be ofset by about 7 years. 7 years, 7 months and a few days, roughly 7.
This is supposed to be the actual new millenium. So what's supposed to happen then?
Have no idea, but I no my friend is no end of time eclectic that spouts off crazy things like this. I've known him for over 25 years and consider him a logic and viable source of information.

There has been "fireballs falling from the sky" in the Middle East for ages, as well as Chechnya, and a lot of places in Africa. Not just the middle east.
There are no birds falling from the sky. If you make a claim like this, back it up with a reference (and not just a bible link, please).

There are 3 near-earth asteroids or comets in the near future. July 2, July 4, July 29. Maybe nothing will happen, but the times say different and those things do affect psyches somehow. Now, I am one to believe that the attraction or the interruption of gravity, such as, the moon or the planets do have some type of effect on the way people react to their surroundings. In the last few days, there have been things like the foiled bombs in London, the flaming SUV at an airport somewhere near there and the news claims sleeper cells of al-queida. But, they're waking up!

I understand what you're saying. Your own statement validates my point. In this country, 9-11 is an emergency code and so it happened on that date in THIS country.
Just like in Madrid, 3-11 is an emergency code in other countries, like Madrid. March 11 was the day of bombings there, which is just to say that things happen for a reason based on various factors.
I'm not saying the calender is the center of all events, but somethings can be measured according to it in the same way we measure work weeks, holidays and special events.
Since when was 311 an emergency number in Madrid? I live here and the emergency number is
112! And Madrid has been elevated to nation status? Wahoo!! perhaps I could get a fat salary working as Madrid's Ambassador to the UN. EXCELLENT!!

I would just like to add something. A few things actually. I don't know if this has been said but on 6/6/6 on a game called runescape which is online mass destruction happened. Usually you have to go to the wilderness to PK or player kill. But on this certain date you could PK anywhere. This was on server 111. thousands of people lost very good items including the impossible to get now Party hats. Very rare and is a lot of money. The only way to get them is trade. These are the most valuable items in the game. A lot of people quit and were very sad. Weird is it not? Now onto 7/7/7. 777 is jackpot in most slot games. Perhaps it is not a day of destruction but a day of mysterious luck. No one could ever tell unless that day comes. Time was to keep track of things. Just by a number repeating does not mean anything unless it is a certain date or time. It could very well mean something. We will never know.

This is just the same kind of paranoia that surrounded 06/06/06. I may be wrong, but I don't think there was any demonic invasion that day. And to the best of my knowledge, there is nothing so wrong with the calendar that it would go off by that much.
The only real problem is that today's date is likely not the 2nd of July 2007 by the Gregorian calendar. It's the 2nd of July 2013 by the Lilian calendar. This is because Jesus appears to have been born 6 years before the date that is historically believed, and Pope Gregory did not invent the modern calendar. He stole it from Luigi Lilio, who died before he fully take credit.

Lets analyze this ... does your friend have any personal problems? Many people who do like to spread rumors about the end of the world, which is more wishful thinking on their part because they figure that once the world goes to h*** their problems vanish with it.
All we know about "Ends of the world" is that so far there have been one predicted for every century we know in history. Some civilizations, like the ones with a western Christian bias, predict several ends of the world for the first century after a millennium.
Now guess what? the world simply refuses to go away....
So far the biggest end of the world scare was in 1844 in the US. People got really hysteric giving away their belongings. Some smart tailor even designed a "going to heaven robe" that was purchased by several thousand people. On the predicted day people flocked in the thousands to hilltops to be nearer to the Lord. Well we are still here
Just relax ... and if your friend insist on the world being destroyed in the next few months you can either ignore him or recommend he sees a counselor.

Then a similar ripple went through humanity regarding 2000 A.D. - again we are all still here...
