If you think about it enough, you wonder why celebrate anything related to special numbers. Not only that, these depend specifically on the decimal representation. Shouldn't changes to the leading digit in other bases also be important? We like to celebrate birthdays, but again give special consideration to those when the leading digit changes, though in that case start counting at zero. (As I understand it, in the Chinese system you are born one, and add one on Chinese (lunar) new year.) Now, when Kennedy promised to land on the moon before the decade was out, did he mean 1969 or 1970? It seems that NASA believed he meant 1969. (The July launch gave them some margin for later tries if that one didn't make it.) -- glen
