"You don't think this day is the slightest bit significant?"
"What? Because at some point, a group of people set in place a system of recording time that would yield a day that would be known as 9-9-9? No, of course not."
"Not even when I point out that it's a Wednesday?"
"What's that got to do with it?"
"Wednesday is the third day of the week--"
"--ah!--"
"--the workweek. And three squared is nine. Three threes is nine."
"And three nines are twenty-seven. Still, completely meaningless."
"Even in Europe, it's 9-9-9 today."
"Duh."
"You're saying that today does not portend anything significant or interesting?"
"Not likely, no."
"Well..."
"Well, what?"
"Um. It's my birthday."
