9/9/09: Move Over Once, Move Over Twice
Angel proclaiming the end of time.
9/9/09For NYC school kids, it is an end of the world of sorts. For others, 9/9/09 seems to resonate with deeper meanings.

Will the world end today?
And let's just check in withthe Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland. OK, the switch still appears in the "off" position, at least for now, and at least for 9/9/09. Here is some background info on "Comments on Claims of Risk from Metastable Black Holes." Better hold onto your shorts, just in case.
And of course:
Beatles "One After 909" :
(John Lennon - Paul Mccartney)
My baby says she's trav'ling on the one after 9.09
I said move over honey I'm travelling on that line
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 9.09
(one after 9.09)
I begged her not to go and I begged
her on my bended knees,
You're only fooling around, you're

fooling around with me.
I said move over once, move over twice
Come on baby don't be cold as ice.
I said I'm trav'ling on the one after 9.09
(one after 9.09)
I got my bag, run to the station
Railman says you've got the the wrong location
I got my bag, run right home
Then I find I've got the number wrong, well
one after 9.0,
one after 9.0,
one after 9.09.
Happy 9/9/09.
