Is There Any Special Meaning for September 9th,2009?

First, Let's have a look at the responses of people from different countries towards the special date(090909). In New York, many new couples take this rare opportunity to get married because such a propitious number is one only once in a blue moon. In Florida, a local government even lauched a new service---collective wedding ceremony . New couples can take part in it only for 99.99 dollars. While businessmen take this day as their good way for marketing. For example, Apple, whose usual launch date of its new products is on Tuesday, postponed its conference until Wednesday.However, in Japan 9 symbolizes sufferings. People will avoid anything connected with number 9, which is the same as number 4. There is even no room with 9 in Japan's hotels and hospitals. In Britain, many Doomsday theorists treat this day as their so-called Doomsday of the World. Someone even predicted that swine flu will break out on this day. In China, number 9 has same pronunciation with its character "久",which means "forever". And I guess that's why so many people chose to get married on this day. Is there really a special meaning on this day? I believe eveyone has his own idea.
