Post by: Jenne on September 09, 2009, 07:06:49 PM

Seems 09-09-09 for the Japanese would be like 13-13-13 (if we HAD a 13th month) for the US...interesting to note, if useless as far as info goes. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_(number) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_(number)) )

OF course, they could always switch to an alternate calendar for the day and then go back once the 9th day of the 9th month of the 9th year in the century was over...

Anyway, this date only crossed my mind with its idiosyncracies because it's the last time we'll see a triple single-digit date for this particular calendar system till the next century.

That's NOT meh. September birthdays DO seem prolific in the main, however. Lots of people doing the nasty in January, what-what.

including myself (son #2's birthday is 9/17)

I wonder what the Japanese must have done today when it was 09/09/09 09:09?

Huh. My husband, brother and aunt (as well as a cousin thrice removed) all have the birthdate of September 22nd.

My mom calls them the 9/22 club. Now THAT is meh. :lulz:

Huh.

Now that you say that, that date sounds familiar too... I wonder if that was once my wedding anniversary? Or maybe THAT was my ex-husband's birthday.

I'm pleased that I don't really remember.

September is truly hell in our family because of all the birthdays...and now my husband's turning 40 this month as well. Oy vey. It's like Christmas for half the family. Very annoying. Which makes this post more appropos to the "post your 1st world problems" thread.

Meh. Since he almost kicked the bucket 2 years ago...he's actually HOPING to fall apart, literally. He keeps that damned diatribe of "if I make it to be ___age," etc. I swear I want to take a frying pan to his head when he does that.

In a few more years, you'll learn to act without the alcohol, and rely solely on stupidity.

Hey, it works for me.
