Since today's date is considered lucky and full of superstitious discounts, so I decided to dig up as much as I could find. In result, I came across this article listing nine ways to celebrate 9/9/09. Here is an excerpt.
"In China, more than 10,000 couples were expected to register their marriages in Beijing on Wednesday and 6,000 more couples were set to tie the knot in Shanghai -- even though it's a weekday, said the Xinhua news agency.
In Malaysia, more than 500 ethnic Chinese couples married at a Buddhist temple in Kuala Lumpur.
That's because Chinese culture considers the number nine auspicious. In major Chinese dialects, the word for "nine" sounds similar to "longlasting."

P.S. - Excuse the blood covered picture, I do not intend to freak people out believing that 9/9/09 is the apocalypse or something.
