So today was the ninth of the ninth, two thou­sand and nine. And at nine past nine this morn­ing (that is, at 9:09 on 09÷09÷09) I snapped a pic­ture of the clock on my phone at work. This is a piece of his­tory right here.

I’m set­ting a reminder right now for 10:10am on the 10th of October next year.
