2009

2009 is the answer to your question. How often have you punched in 1234567890 on your calculator, cell phone, computer, electronic lock, notebook and so many other keypads? Why? Unix time is 1234567890 seconds at 23:31:30 on February 13, only in 2009.

NASA has many pages of details of the twenty first century's longest eclipse of the sun viewable from the Earth on July 22, 2009 — even though the maximum duration of totality just reaches 6 minutes 39 seconds.

January 26, 2009 is first day of the Year of the Ox in much of East Asia, which has more web surfers than any other continent. You may mix and mash 2009 calendars with public holidays for any two of the Top Ten countries populated with the most bloggers at Sujanani.com.

The United States Senate Committee Energy Tax Briefing Book June 13, 2007 makes several mentions of the dates January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. It also states: "There are 2,009 publicly-owned electric utilities in the United States ..." In 2009, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand introduce restrictions on incandescent bulb sales. Is 2009 when you first seriously considered biofuel or an electric-powered car or taking advantage of energy credits? Is 2009 the answer to more than just one of your questions?
