Oh Nine Oh Nine Oh Nine

Whether you believe it or not, the world should have ended yesterday. Since you're reading this, the world did not end.

Obviously.

The doom-mongers were all over this - this article from beyond the pond is one such - that on the 9th day of the 9th month in the 9th year, the world would end.

I suppose that if you're into numerology, you could also flip 999 on its head and get 666, but that's probably a stretch.

Besides, if the 9th-9th-9th rule were true, the world should also have ended on September 9, 1909.

Guess not.
