9/9/9
 

Surprised there isn't a thread on this already. Notable date today. All nines. Just three more to go before we have to wait a century for another triple.

Erm ... isn't it 9/9/2009? :evil:

Nice.
And the ordering of day and month (and year) is taken care of.
Pity you didn't post it at 9:9:9 UT.
Perhaps one of our friends in the New World will rectify this.

Our emergency phone number is 999.
Is 911 simply a morbid coincidence?

There I was thinking it was 1009 and excluding leading zeros.

?
Anything to do with 1961? Or soixante neuf?
OK I get it: 666

Did anyone spot this on 06/06/06 ?

As I have pointed out before, the Number of the Beast was originally 616 not 666...

[QUOTE=10metreh;189156]As I have pointed out before, the Number of the Beast was originally 616 not 666...[/QUOTE]Okay, so the beast wanted to change his number, I can understand that. I'm sure it got loads of unwanted telemarketers and changing it's number was a good way to avoid them (at least until they learned the new number).
