If this is the "luckiest day of the century" as one of the talking heads just said on the TV news, what will 7-7-77 be?

I'm buying 7 powerball tickets in a while.

Last night, I laid out page A1 of today's paper, 7-7-07. Our volume number, which we put at the bottom of our front page was, I kid you not, No. 77.

7-7-77 just happens to be Chris Redman's birthday. Chances are looking better for him that if he makes the Atlanta Falcons, he'll be able to wear the No. 7 jersey this year.

My birthday is June 6, and last year my b-day fell on 6-6-06. It was one of my best birthdays ever.

By the way, I'm Satan.

 

[Songbird]

My bday is Sept. 9. so in 1999 I partied like it was 9-9-99.

 

[Angola!]

My birthday is 5-17, so in a couple of thousand years I will party it up.

The PA Lottery shut down all sales of 777 and 7777, they reached their limit.

One of our TV folks said it was the last time for 7-7-07 for 1,000 years.
Now I'm stupid. I admit that. I ain't got no 174.
But isn't July 7, 2107 - 100 years from today - 7/7/07?

Am I wrong here?

 

[markvid]

Nope, not wrong.

 

[Breakyoself]

it was a TV guy that said it.

I'm trying to remember what it was last century and I can't... was it also the luckiest day of the century?
Just think how lucky people will be feeling 5770 years from now when the date will be 7/7/7777... unless by then we're using Star-Trekesque star dates and not normal month/day/year notations for dates.

Captain's log, stardate 77777.7.

HIlarious!

Exhibit A on how people are mind-numbingly stupid.

It's one thing to **** money away on a lottery, quite another to pick an obviously popular number on a date that will --- even if you win --- net you only a tiny fraction of the pool because hundreds of other dumb****s picked the same number.

Mother Pencil **** celebrated her 70th birthday on 07-7-07.

She was born at 7:34 a.m. ... too bad she arrived 27 minutes late.

Why? Wasn't the lottery in New York on Sept 11, 2001, 9-1-1
And last year, in Ohio, it was 4-2-3-9 on the day Ohio State beat Michigan by that score?

 

[Songbird]

That Ohio thing was nuts.

Not in PA. It's not a pool, but straight winnings for the 3 and 4 number games.

I know a lot of brides picked today to get hitched.

How many special trips were planned to Vegas for this weekend do you figure?
