Numbers
In case you missed it, today is Friday the 13th. Which, you know, is supposed to be unlucky.
But you know what? We know all that. There's actually a more interesting numerical occurrence today: Unix time will reach 1234567890. That is, it will have been 1,234,567,890 seconds since January 1, 1970—when the Unix "Epoch" starts counting from. Only computers running Unix-based operating systems apply.
It's just a fun geeky coincidence, but you just know some conspiracy nut out there will freak out over this numerical conjunction.
That might make for an interesting story...

05-05-05
Not only is today Cinco de Mayo, but it's also the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth year of the millenium. 05-05-05. I'm sure people are imagining correlations. I touched on this two years ago in 03/03/03.
Isn't numerology grand?
