    I remember checking the time on 07/08/09. It was 11 minutes past 10 so I checked the time on 07/08/09 at 10:11. The awesomeness of that literally made my head explode.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭x in the city


    my point is

    this girl i know goes to a shop and gets a bill for the exact age she is on her birthday

    down to the last cent

    seems a pretty freaky thing to happen, its not like she bargained her grocery list down to the last 31 cent :rolleyes:

    I went to the local shop (called 8 to 8, but it's opn until 10) during the olympics opening ceremony last year. My bill was rung through at 20.08 for a total of 7.45. I considered throwing a handful of penny sweets in there to make it up to €8.08 but realised that would be just too sad.

    Only ever 100 years do we get the whole 01/01/01, 04/04/04, 09/09/09 etc. thing going on, so isn't it weird that we, in the midst of all our coincidental (or not) revelations, are living in that time...?

    Haha. This thread is funny. Also a little stupid.:p

    There was a few weeks recently when every time I looked at the clock before I went to sleep it was 10:23 p.m. No joke. How weird..! And the first time it happened, I had just watched that psychological movie with Jim Carey called The Number 23!! :eek:
