Nines in a date bad? Nein, nein, 9-9-09 is just fine

Some people feared massive computer problems on 9/9/99. Didn’t happen.

Then they were especially apprehensive on New Years Day 2000 when the so-called Y2K bug was supposed to shut down computers all over the world. Didn’t happen.


Nobody seems to be concerned about the nine’s in today’s date.

In fact, many say today is a good day to get married with triple nine’s working for them.

“There are a limited number of days like this in your entire lifetime, so why not pick one for your special day,” gushed Cheryl Yung of Swampscott, a senior vice-president for Lee Hecht Harrison in Boston. “We thought it would be exciting to do something on 9/9/09. It will be our lucky number now.”

Today is probably not as significant at 7/7/07, but for some it will be an extra special day.
