- Pssdoff, on 10/11/2007, -12/+110The day to worry about is six years from now when the calendar reads 13/13/13.
- cuj0, on 10/11/2007, -2/+79ohh nice cover up after you realized there is no 13th month
- Pssdoff, on 10/11/2007, -4/+52Any good names for the upcoming 13th month? Doomuary? Disastember?
- futurebird, on 10/11/2007, -5/+48Oh, and many Chinese consider 7 a very unlucky number associated with death. Don’t tell the brides.
Uh oh. I'm getting married on this day. My brother's Chinese family won't think I'm too bright, I guess. Well, none of us are very superstitious. I just wanted a anniversary date that I won't ever forget. - Prokaryote, on 10/11/2007, -1/+37I want your calendar.
- ijustam, on 10/11/2007, -3/+36Stupid Smarch weather.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -14/+44How about we all have "something to smile about" on the 11th September 2007?
Stupid Americans don't realise the significance of 7/7 to people living in other nations. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+32Ya, I'm sure everyone will win the lottery on that day. Sheesh.
- Manhigh, on 10/11/2007, -2/+28Not all Americans my friend. Just came here to say how the 7/7 bombings definitely don't make it a 'lucky day.'

- DirtySnachez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Lousy..
- SaxxonPike, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11It could be a lucky day. I'll go out and get laid, and burn all my extra money not giving a *****.
Actually, that about sums up any choice Saturday... - dsignr, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12Does anyone else find it ironic that a site called "livescience" would publish an article about luck?
- woobster, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Yeah and by 2012 the world will end!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012#Apocalyptic_predictions - doronster195, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Anyone else realize that there have been dates like this for the past 7 years and there will be for the next 5 years?
01/01/01 02/02/02 05/05/05 07/07/07....... 09/09/09 10/10/10 12/12/12 - geekchic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Expect a lot of babies to be born (naturally, or forced) on the 8th of August 2008
- jasarien, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Anyone here forgetting that this year's 07/07 is a year since the bombings in London? I wouldn't call that lucky.
- Vlux, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Actually, the number 4 is associated with death. The number 7 symbolizes "togetherness".

- poet, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4July 7th is my birthday. Also, this year it's the first anniversary of Syd Barrett's death.
- Shadic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Now that I think about it, 7/7/07 is the last day that I'll be a minor. Cool.
- thesauce, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4My girlfriend told me that 07/07/07 is the highest booked wedding day in history. I think she saw that on TV somewhere.
- AJRiddle, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Thats because we don't call it 7/7 bombings here in the US, we call it the "London Bombings" and similar things.
- warriorscot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3So london isnt good enough for your terrorist bombing screwy date naming system.
- HenvY, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3is futurebird your brother?

- Enroth, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Bible?? I always thought seven was considered luck as it was most likely to show up in a a game with 2 dice.
- konradk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3@futurebird
Good luck for your wedding. I'm getting married too, though one week later on 14/07/07. It is true that the 7th was insanely overbooked. Fortunately my girlfriend preferred this date, which made things just a little bit easier for me. :) - themastersb, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Everyone will win 2 bucks
- simplejoe79, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3new seven wonders of the world are gonna be announced on 7/7/7......
- omnithought, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I've always wondered how dates on a man-made calendar system could possibly affect anything. We're just measuring time. Dates have no other significance. Friday the 13th doesn't mean a damn thing, nor does 6/6/06, 7/7/07, or 4/20.
- thetanbark, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Mine too, hooray!
- willi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2You can not be more wrong! As Vlux said the number 4 is associated with death.

- mesketch, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2My daughter's birthday is 7/7. She will turn 6 this year.
