We had our 999999 celebration at 9:09:09 this morning. We did make a compromise and celebrated at 9:09 local time instead of 9:09 Zulu.

It was a very quick celebration.

Yes, it was. We spent more time eating nine-ingredient Chex mix, eating nine of each type of pastry, etc than we did celebrating with "Woohoo!".

On the other hand, we did get an early start planning our 10/10/10 10:10:10 celebration, a topic that got the computer geeks all excited about something called binary day.

I was out on the trails this morning and I saw birds, butterflies, one frog in the pond, a deer, trees... but no nines.

Are you sure the trail you were on was one of sincerity? The nines only appear on the most sincere trails. And are you sure you didn't accidentally show a lack of faith? The smallest slip of the tongue ("if" the nines appear vs "when" the nines appear) can doom you.

And are you sure today is the 9th? It can be very embarrassing to realize you've missed it completely, but it does occasionally happen. Don't feel bad. There's always ... uh ... well maybe you should feel bad.

Shouldn't that be "WhenEver!"?


It's a good thing that we don't have 11 toes. Well - at least most of us don't.

Does it matter? Aren't time and space the same?

Hmmm - then it must be WhenWherever or Whencewhen?
