Funny, I’m going to a speed dating event tonight. It’s called 8minuteDating, in which I will meet 8 women for 8 minutes each, starting at 7:08. I wonder if I can convince the organizer to change those numbers. ---

It’s the 2000th anniversary of the defeat of the Romans at Teutoburg Forest, thus ending the northern expansion of the Roman Empire on the continent. Yay, Arminius! ---

We’ve only got 3 more years of day/month/year simultrinicity, then we’re screwed for another hundred years. We’ve got 10/10/10, 11/11/11, and 12/12/12 and then it’s over. It’ll be a real hit to the movie industry. I suppose 11/12/13 is an option, along with 12/13/14, but then they’ll have to get really creative. 5/10/15. That one’s free. ---

Then there’s always 2009-20-09. Oh. Wait. Maybe if we were on Mars and had a year that was 24 months long… 20-09-2009 for the day-month-year types among us? 🙂 ---
