Number 9, Number 9..

Have you ever read the John Lennon biography by Ray Coleman?
One of the more memorable paragraphs in the book, for me, was the one describing how the number 9 was a recurring motif in John's life - with examples and all.

John seemed to believe the number was in a way "written in the stars" for Yoko and him.
And yes, John did have some landmarks in his life associated to the number, such as:

• His birthday - October 9th
• His second son's birthday, freakishly similar to dad's - October 9th
• John Ono Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon's combined names contain nine O's (Yes, he actually thought of that)
