    What are your plans for what is left of 09-09-09? Some see it as a special day. Will you get lucky? Will something mysterious happen? Methinks I'll put on my tin foil hat and go see the film District 9 to celebrate. You?

    Yep. One of those dates when you don't want to explain to God how you "slept in".

    But I don't think God really cares for dates.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 806 ✭✭✭AssaultedPeanut


    Damn it I never thought of 09:09 today. I think I was dressing for work and running around like a headless chicken.
    It's my sister's birthday that's the only thing different about today. I like the tinfoil hat/district 9 idea though, might look into that

    I'm making plans to fly a plane into a building on Dec 1st, with 112 being the emergency number and all.

    Oh, I know...Make sure I have a plan for when the clock strikes the same time in the PM today!

    I heard that every piece of electrical equipment in the world is going to come alive and attack us humans at 09:09 09/09/09 pacific time.

    In fairness, I heard it from my toaster after electric picnic at the weekend, so who knows.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭grenache


    9 is my unlucky number. This number has brought death, distruction and disappointment to me over the years. This could be the longest day yet :(

    You have a great brain. ;)

    But I don't think God really cares for dates.

    I'll say. The one time he did knock someone up, he didn't even do her let alone take her on a date.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    You'd think that God would have reserved a room at the Inn for his first-borns birth.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,526 ✭✭✭brendansmith


    I think i might decapitate a prostitute to celebrate this joyous date..

    He did, he the built the cave many thousands/millions years before (that became a stable), ahead of plan (unlike our government projects). There was space available when the new born arrived.
