JuneJuneJune: Mark of the Beast


A headline from Australia's Herald Sun:

Terrorist S11 plotter yells curse

At first I thought this was a typo, an understandable (on so many levels) conflation of S Club 7 and 9/11. But apparently it is an intentional re-branding of the event with the S a super-abbreviation of that super September of recent memory.

Anti-similarly, I am now referring to the holiday of American independence as the 4th of Seven.

And I will henceforth commemorate Guy Fawkes Day with the rhyme:

Remember, remember
The Fifth of Eleven.
