I woke up today and noticed that this is 09/09/09. Of course, Nine was John Lennon's favorite number (and often found its way into his song titles) because significant events in his life always seemed to fall on the 9th of a month (see first link below). The "Number Nine..." post title above comes from the voice heard on Lennon's "Revolution No. 9" from the Beatles' White Album -- a very weird assortment of sound effects and voices that goes for some 10 minutes or so (it's not a song at all). I also noticed that "The Beatles: Rock Band" hits stores today -- I'm sure no coincidence. And if I had to bet, I'd wager that Sesame Street was probably brought to us by the Number Nine today. Finally, the second linked article below explains that today "represents the last set of repeating, single-digit dates that we'll see for almost a century (until January 1, 2101)." You can't top that for significance! So here's to ya today, Number Nine!
