What about 9

Have you ever thought about nine and how many ways it's used. I was thinking about the number nine and how many times it's in our lives. You can do multiplies of nine on your hand. Golf courses are in sets of nine holes. What about cloud nine. Why is it that when you hit the snooze button it's for nine minutes. September 11th happened on 9-11. 9*11=99, 9+9=18, 1+8=9. Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Anton Bruckner, and Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote nine symphonies. What about bands, Stroke 9, Nine Days, and Nine Inch Nails. Did you know that nine judges sit on the us supreme court. Why do cats have nine lives. If you take anything times nine and add the remaining numbers together you will eventually end back with nine.
  • 2*9=18 (1+8=9)
  • 3*9=27 (2+7=9)
  • 9*9=81 (8+1=9)
  • 234*9=2106 (2+1+0+6=9)
  • 578329*9=5204961 (5+2+0+4+9+6+1=27 (2+7=9))
Now if I could only figure out how to get snooze to be longer than nine minutes.
