So…nothing happened at 09:09am on 09/09/09. Shocker. It’s almost as if it was a normal, boring day!
Personally, I’d expected the Devil to come riding in on a big Devil Bike, proclaiming that the whole ’666′ thing was a mistake and came from a snooping journalist seeing it the wrong way up, and the real evil number was 999. Then he’d do a wheelie and set a few things on fire, because he’s the Devil and he can do stuff like that, even though he still keeps a close eye on the Gregorian calander so he knows when to time his attacks.
But no, nothing happened. Nothing news-worthy, anyway. There were no end-of-the-world type antics, or scary attacks or anything. Bit of a disappointment really. There was a crazed theory floating about that there’d be a terror attack, because ’999′ is the emergency services number for the UK. You know, the way ’911′ (9/11) is the US number. And terrorists plan like Horror movie directors. Saving up their work for Halloween, because that makes things all the more poignant.
Yeah.
I can’t wait for 2013, when this sort of nonsense can’t really happen. 13/13/13 doesn’t work. Although, according to the Mayan calendar and a few jumped-to conclusions, we’re all going to cease to exist in December of 2012. That should be interesting. It will save me having to buy Christmas presents atleast.
