So many nines

This qualifies as strange, but perhaps it's just coincidence.

A whole bunch of babies were born on September 9, 2009, specifically 9-9-09. However, some babies have more in depth detail with nines in their date of birth.

At Franciscan Skemp Medical Center in Wisconsin, Henry Berendes was born on that day by Caesarean section at 9:09 a.m. His parents "broke into laughter" when the nurse told them their son weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces.

Meanwhile, two movies referring to the number nine both opened that same day: 9 and District 9. Both of their plots referred to the apocalypse in some way.

The news, films and religion brought ideas of an apocalypse coming on days that have straight numbers in them, such as June 6, 2006 and July 7, 2007. So far, it's brought good news and strange news for this week.

Welcome back to college, tigers!
