For many of us, this will be the last:

Is it stupid that this actually makes me kind of sad?

All I know is that tomorrow, like other weekdays, I'll go to work, think about fishing all day, get home, drink some Octoberfest, then go to bed only to start it all over again on Thursday. Maybe the Octoberfest will tase especially delicious on 9/9/09?  ;D

[roadwarrior]

What really strikes me as odd is the we have had many dates

like this over the past 50 years. Now there is a big gap to the

next date and another one thousand years after that!

Weird.

[Koop]

I'm waiting for 11/11/11 the sky will fall!  ;D

[Dan:]

so it's the last date with repeating single digits? so what? how are single digits any more significant than repeating double digits (10/10/10, 11/11/11, etc...)

[Bassn Blvd]

Aren't they manipulating the number 2009?  2009 isn't a single digit number.  9-9-9 isn't 9-9-2009.

Does that make any sense or should I stay out of this conversation?

I cant wait till 13/13/13.  I might actually go fishing on that day. :

What kind of weird 13 month calendar are you Missourians using?

;D

Ummm. Is it something technical that Im missing or what about 10.10.10 or 11.11.11 even 12.12.12??? :-? :-/

Patience is a virtue... it might take a while.  

[skillet]

 I'm beginning to think that (13/13/13) might be the best bet for the day I catch my DD :-/...

There won't be a 2013 period. The Mayan calendar ends in 2012 and that's it for all of us. There's even a movie about it so it must be true.

that's what I was saying. Apparently double digit numbers don't count so 09/09/09 is the last date with repeating SINGLE digits for a while.

I forgot to mention that day is a friday too.  ;D  

You mean you guy's calanders dont have 13 months? :

I've heard that on the Mayan calander.  I've also heard its a cyclic calander that starts over.  

Skillet  I agree.  Maybe we can fish that day and both catch DD fish.

Yes, I am bored. ;D

I honestly don't see anything special about 9-9-09. Time after all is just an illusion. We could change our calendars so that next week it will be 9-9-09 again and it would really be 9-9-09 since were not using any galatical space-time continuum calendar or anything.

Doublethink!!!!

Time is not an illusion, it's a tool for measuring natural events.

The calender is a system of organizing time sequences:

9/9/09 has no particular significance, it just strikes me and many

others as interesting.

Yeah, you and all the others who are discriminating against double digit numbers!

I understand you. There is no such thing as a "foot" (the measurement) either, just measurements that simulate what a foot should be.

Time is something WE created. It's not naturally occurring and shouldn't have any impact on when things end.

RW, please refer to Muddy on rules regarding Wikipedia as a credible reference source.

sounds like a lot of contemplation for absolutely zero benefit or net productivity. ;D

[frogtog]

This is so depressing. What do I need to do?

[daviscw]

Did you know September has 9 letters?

Did you know Wednesday has 9 letters?

Did you know that today is the 252 day of the year and 2+5+2=9?

Sh**'s about to blow!

Time is an illusion. There is no past and no future, only the present. It's hard to think about and explain unless I were to jot this all down on paper because I keep loosing my thoughts. I don't really have to though as scientist have already done that.

Of course there is always the theory about infinite probabilities which would give a reality of the past and future but thinking about that makes my head hurt.

I understand the point of this is because no one really here cares about 9-9-09 I'm just getting a little bit deeper into the topic.

Why get yourself confused by thinking through all of that? When it comes down to it, the days still start and end at midnight, and we still have to be at work at 9.

Very true dan.
