dunno about lucky - but it sure as hell is going to make an unprecendented number of marriages run smoother come anniversary time.

"OMGYOUREMEMBERDOURANNIVERSARY!!! LETS TRY OUT THIS NEW LINGERE SET!!"

...hmm...maybe you do get lucky...

that'll be my 10th anniversary

get of my lawn!

 
Sid_6.7 [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 12:30:04 PM  
Sounds like that means that a larger total number of marriages on that day will end in divorce. Hmmm...

My 7th wedding anniversary.

My 29th birthday.

Do you think we can just get it over with and have one grand slam day when everyone gets divorced?

 
Gameshot911 [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 12:33:39 PM  
It's interesting how humans love to find patterns, even if that means forcing things a bit. 7/7/2007 not so special? Thats ok, 2007 --> 07, and suddendly OMG THATS SO COOL.

Lucky? Isn't the 7th year supposed to be the most critical for a marriage..?

/suck it, superstitious folk?!

unprecedented numbers of divorces by 08/08/08. eight is such a mysterious number. idiots.

 
stickandmove 2007-03-11 12:39:38 PM  
Once, twice, three times a repeat?

 
Staypuft_Mushmallow_Manz 2007-03-11 12:42:27 PM  
Unprecedented number of babies in America every single year in mid-fall, within a few weeks of September 25th. 7/7/07 may be lucky, but Christmas is still the king of farkin' days.

I'm holding off on placing my 'EMERGENCY DJ FOR HIRE - $500/hr.' ad until the weekend before.

Bonus points: 7/7/2007 is a Saturday.

 
Catholicgauze 2007-03-11 12:46:50 PM  
I have a friend who's parents paid an astrologer to pick the best date for his wedding. After taking their money and her time to "decide" she picked 7/7/07

I'll be eating my french fries topped with pepper that day.

Predicting 7 year itch pandemic in 2014.

Step 1: Make infidelity 'socially charming' by 2014
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!


I'm guessing that step 2 is something along the lines of 'Become a divorce lawyer'.

* 8.8.8-12.12.12. (takes bets that some idiot freak notices "9.9.9 rotated can look like 666! OMG!11!")
* 31.3.13
* 1.4.14
* 31.4.15 (for math geeks? But they can simply change the number system or something if a special date is needed)

People are so stupid. I never cease to be amazed the stupid things they believe.

Yeah, a repeat. Another reminder that I married the wrong guy on July 7th.

I dunno about you, but I'm going to Vegas.

A friend of mine is getting married in Vegas that day.

/Being there.

 
nobozo 2007-03-11 12:53:54 PM  
F (6) plus A (1) = 7
R (18) minus K (11) = 7

/your wedding plans now Farked

 
rob.d 2007-03-11 12:57:15 PM  
Why not wait for 7/7/2077 or 7/7/7777 or even 7/7/77,777

Stupidity has no timeline.

 
TheAncientDoctor 2007-03-11 12:59:22 PM  
7 is universally recognized as a symobl for perfection.

that's why so many weddings on that day. Less about patterns more about the number 7.

 
Silent.John.eh? 2007-03-11 12:59:40 PM  
I'm getting married on July 9/07 - didn't even realize that 7/7/7 was the date 2 days earlier until 2 months after the date was set.

Guess I'll be lucky +2

 
pounddawg 2007-03-11 01:00:30 PM  
People are calling still for that date. A lot of people are going with 7/17 and 7/27 as alternates.

*scoff* That's so retarded. The real hip thing to do is to go back in time to AD 777 and get married by druids at Stonehenge.

 
bobthemonkey 2007-03-11 01:04:30 PM  
Now if we can just get Halo 3 to come out that day...Bungie loves 7's...

Big Day
by Colin Moulding

It's your big day
Your big day...


So you want to tie the knot
Tie it tight,
Don't let it rot,
The memory
Of this day.
Are you deafened by the bells?
Could be heaven
Could be hell
In a cell for two.

Big day come and big day go,
Life goes on after the show,
But will your love have the fire and glow
Like on the big day?

Statistics they don't say a lot
But can you keep
What you have got
Forever
Together?
There's a lesson to be learned
Many fingers
Have been burned
With the touch of gold.

Love can come and love can go,
What your chance is I don't know,
But if you have love then let it show
Like on the big day
(You're the new recruit)
The big day
(In your wedding suit)

There's a lesson to be learned
Many fingers
Have been burned
With the touch of gold.

Love can come and love can go,
What your chance is I don't know,
But if you have love then let it show

Like on the big day
(Yeah, you're looking fine)
The big day
(Sign on the dotted line)
Your big day
(It's your wedding march today)

On 7/7/07, I will be the exact same age, to the day, that John Lennon was when he died.

I double-dog dare you to spend the night at the Dakota in NYC.

 
JJR 2007-03-11 01:13:47 PM  
I going to bet on horse number 7 to win on that day.
(yes I know, he'll finish 7th)

 
Darth Jawa [TotalFark] 2007-03-11 01:15:29 PM  
I bet some eager bastards are going to do it at 7:07:07, just to be sure their marriage is safe...

Don't press them. They'll be lucky to still be engaged at 04/01/07, much less the relationship lasting until July.

 
Eric Hexagon 2007-03-11 01:16:13 PM  
8/8/08 is luckier

 
Holy_Juan 2007-03-11 01:18:25 PM  
That is the date when the terrorist will attack again.

You heard it here first.

Oh, it will also make breaking into homes and ATMs easier as people use 7707 as their pass code.

Friend of mine getting married Elvis style in Vegas that day. I'll be there for it.

Ex-bother-in-law getting married in Vegas that day. Hey, 4th time can be a charm or is it his 5th? 3 or 4 kids, one grandkid, he is 48????

Sure, this one will last....

//though disappoint the women of the world
//happily living in the basement of my house

 
downtownkid 2007-03-11 01:21:51 PM  
Funny, I just got a mailing from Caesars Palace urging me to make plans now if I wanted to get married there on 7/7/07. As they were unable to provide a bride as part of the package I had to decline.

 
Esc7 2007-03-11 01:26:01 PM  
this doesn't compare to the amount of chinese people that are going to get married on 8/8/08 next year.

 
tokyogirl79 2007-03-11 01:27:58 PM  
The Omen remake cashed in on the whole 6/6/06 thing, so who wants to be that some film company is going to try & cash in on the whole 7/7/07 day?
