09/09/09

Today is a special day. This is the last set of repeating single digit dates that we will see for almost another hundred years. The next one is scheduled for January 1, 2101. There is nothing special about this date. But people who are interested in meaning of numbers attribute importance to this date.

Many people in India consider 9 as a lucky number. So this day will be a lucky day for many Indians.

Here is a joke. On September 8, 2009, one guy dreamt he bet on horse number 9 on the 9th race on 09/09/09. The next day he went to the race course and bet on that horse. The result: That horse came in at the 9th place.

Palm Beach County in Miami is offering a one-day wedding special for $99.99 (Marriage Lincese Fee) on 09/09/09. It will otherwise cost around $150.00.

Apple is going to announce something big on 09/09/09.

In order to bring awareness of global warming, Chennai Mayor Subramanian is arranging to switch off all the lights for 9 minutes at 9 PM on 09/09/09. All Chennai residents: You are forewarned and lock all the doors.

Mathematically 9 is a special number. The sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9x4=36, 3+6=9.

September 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year. 2+5+2=9.

Some have predicted 999 is worse than 666 and therefore the world will end on this day.
