What is in a number? This Friday it will be January 1 of the year of our lord 2002. According to the Ethiopian calender Nambari ni nambari tuuuuu....Hakuna kitu ingine. Hakunaaaa!

all this play with numbers reminds me of th movie number 23. careful y'all or you will become obsessed and eventually go crazy You have a right to your opinion. Allow me mine!

@ wangu-n, after watching that movie i took the numerals representing my birth day and they added up to 23.... NEVER TALK OF A RHINO IF THERE IS NO TREE NEAREBY - ZULU PROVERB

Any number given much thought will have something pecular bout it! The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

@Kaigangio, Granted we use numbers every day. Same with words and other symbols. But none of them would have meaning if we did not imbue them with it. In some cultures the number 7 is considered lucky. In China the number 4. Both groups make it work for them because they invest the emotional and intellectual energy that give this meaning to these symbols. 09-09-09 may have been been important,holy,lucky,privileged etc to some people,but only because they made it so. When I tried to impress upon my cat on the great importance of this day,she ignored me completely.
