Holy "on this day" Batman!
I occasional peruse "History on this day in History" and I don't think I've ever seen a date more beloved by the cabal than this palindromic 4X date… reading events on this daay reads like every baseball record ever achieved happened today (exaggeration, of course). A LOT of "35's" on this day. 2424=XX, 35=2i… ixxi ring any alarm bells?
Anyway, lots of space events, bombing events, collapses, you name it. [They] love orchestrating things for this day.

Oh, also occured to me that today's Qclock time can be read (alternately) as 19:94 (5-steps ahead of 19:99, Just For Kicks) and the 4:49 Q watch was dated 19th, with a [94] in the form of 49 minute-hand.
