Oh Nine!

Know what day it is today? It's the ninth of September -the ninth month- of '09, a rare occurrence, but even more rare will be nine minutes and nine seconds after nine a.m. this morning:

09:09.09 09/09/09



It even works on the European method of the date, reversing the month and day from how the United States does it.

You can read Why 09/09/09 Is So Special or what Wiki says about all the things that have happened on the regular years of each September 9 .

Here's some more information about the date:

* 09-09-09 is also the last of the single-digits dates for quite a while - 92 years to be precise.

* It is also the upside-down number of "the beast" - satan = 666, of course.

* The day itself falls on a Wednesday and both Wednesday & September have 9 letters.

I bet a lot of folks will play zero and nine on their lotteries, which will mean it would be strange if the numbers came up together...and will also mean a lower payout because so many people played those numbers. I dunno about the "666" deal, never was sure about that, but it's probably true that the devil is having an easy time in this evil world, probably can do it standing on his head, maybe that's why "999" is "666" upside down.

Anyway....

Weird, huh?
