Awesome, thanks! Pretty long list. Too long for all but the most obsessive of us. And it grows every year. Wow, information is getting out of hand.

For math geeks who want real math and not yet another joke, A site called Scrivener's Error points out that today is 01/04/09, which is "One four nine. The squares of the first three integers." They go on to proclaim today, Monolith Day.

Presumably, you celebrate that during the 25th hour of today. Except that...doh!

I also liked that iTunes this week is offering, as a free Classical download, John Cage's 4' 33", which you probably know contains no notes, it's completely silent. :)
Actually, only the first part, you have to pay $1.98 to get the second two parts, ha ha ha.

Oooohhh, mean one. Witty and subtle.
