Happy 9/9/9!

I was thinking, "What a cool day! Too bad it's the last one we'll see with the same consecutive digits for a long time." But then I realized there's November 11, 2011, or 11/11/11. It's pretty easy to write too. And for those binary lovers, there'll be October 10, 2010, or 10/10/10.

Considering that our calendar is a subjective take on time-keeping, and that September actually means "Seven" (Septem = Seven, in Latin because it used to be the seventh month before they changed the calendar, thereby changing the order), November ("Nine" in Latin) would actually be the literal 9/9/9. But who cares about being literal?

Have a great nine day!
