I went to Amazon and looked up The Rapture. I find this list astounding.

Plot Keywords: Swapping | The Devil | Salvation | Starvation | Large Breasts | Left Behind | Cruising | Prophecy | Motorcycle | Furniture Store | Heaven | Brushing Teeth

I think there's a poem in there somewhere.

From World-Wide Words:

HEXAKOSIOIHEXEKONTAHEXAPHOBIA Much has been made in some quarters
of last Tuesday's date, 6-6-06, which is close enough to the Number
of the Beast in the New Testament Book of Revelation to have caused
some anxiety among those who fear the consequences of numerological
coincidences. This term for morbid anxiety about the number 666 is
not, so far as I know, to be found in any dictionary. The "-phobia"
ending is easy and the rest is an English transliteration of the
Greek for 666: "hexakosioi" - 600, "hexekonta" - 60, "hex" - 6.

To misquote the Wicked Witch of the West, What a word, what a word..."
