Today is 9th of September 2009, or writen in 9.9.09, or 090909 for a nicer look. It means 长长久久 for chinese folks, which literally means "last forever". Many couples has registered to tie the knots today, from what I read.
Well, actually, human is a funny being. 090909 looks special, yes it is, but being rated "once in a hundred year" is very idiotic.
First point I'm going to talk is, today is 09 September 2009, a hundred years later, it will be 09 September 2109. You don't have the same date for the second time, no matter how long you wait.
Okay, let me widen the scope. My second point is, 09.09.09 is again 09.09.09 one hundred years later. But why so concern about this date? 05.02.90 is also 05.02.90 one hundred years later. Why so biased and being so narrow-minded?
These two points are enough to conclude that rating today's date as once in a hundred years sounds stupid. Every day is special.
Date is created by human. Although one day is equal to earth spinning on its axis for 1 round, 1 month equals to the moon rotates the earth one round, and one year equals to earth rotates the sun one round (all in approximately lah), but still it was human who created date. If our ancestors never create this, we would not have this once in a hundred years thing already. If date was always writen in "09 September 2009" form, we would not have 090909 already. And a lot more, all created by human, if didn't exist, we would not have this thing.
So, every day is special, treat every day the same. :)
