Tomorrow is 9/9/09 - the last three digit repeating date for a century.

6. I thought of that, but 9-9-9 is 3 digits, 10-10-10 is six digits
At least, that's the way I see it.

9. I was in middle school on 6-6-66.

10. 09/09/09 is history
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_AD

Where I get messed up is B.C. dates - turn out the last day of the 9th century BC is Dec 31, 801 BC.
