9-9-9 - but my luck didnt come in today!

In certain parts of Asia the number 9 is thought to be lucky. Today was 9th day of the 9th month 2009 so according to these superstitions should have been the luckiest day of my life - it wasnt. My lottery numbers didnt come up, no-one called me with that perfect job - not even after I'd rubbed my lucky cat, had two black cats walk in front of me earlier on this week and seen the end of a rainbow did my luck change! ;)
