I know what people mean when they say "7/7", but I'm never gonna let them
get away with that without asking what the hell they're talking about. I
don't accept that as a valid term for the bombings in London last July.

9/11 is ok for a few reasons -eg. 911 emergency number in the US. It also
means I can't forget my wedding anniversary ever.

7/7 is soooooOOOoooo corny and poor-man's "me too, bro" that it just isn't
funny.
