Copago Moderator Registered: Tue May 15 2001 Posts: 14384 Loc: Australia	haha! I just came in to post about the very same thing, veronikkamarrz . I had just been reading this link ... http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20090908/sc_livescience/why090909issospecial Quote: Not only does the date look good in marketing promotions, but it also represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101), or a millennium (mark your calendars for January 1, 3001), depending on how you want to count it.

It is too hot until the middle of this month.Otherwise I am sure the ' nines' would have done well. _________________________ Wandering aimlessly through FT since 1999.

veronikkamarrz Mainstay Registered: Thu Dec 28 2006 Posts: 930 Loc: Carson City Nevada USA	I much prefer "longlasting" to "death!" It didn't do me a lot of good in the casino. Spent a little, lost the same! Oh well, tomorrow is: 09/10/09... _________________________ ...Be careful out there...

cydonia325 Prolific Registered: Sat Dec 23 2006 Posts: 1221 Loc: Stepford New York USA	My goodness, Nicole Richie and her husband certainly chose an "interesting" name for their baby boy, who arrived on 09/09/09. I read several articles quoting numerologists, that this was an incredibly auspicious birth date. I have very high brow taste in tabloid reading material. Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born early Wednesday morning. I suppose it rhymes a tiny bit with Harlow.. the name of Sparrow's big sister. If I were going to name my son after a bird, I would choose something a bit more masculine, like Hawk, Eagle or Condor. _________________________ As you slide down the banister of life, may all the splinters be going in the right direction ~ Anon.
