John-- I suppose you knew already, Hyacinth is called Jacinto in Spanish--

San Jacinto is a very popular saint among Latins. Jacinta is also the name of a certain little GIRL from Portugal, who had visions of Our Blessed Mother in Fatima!

Hey, SHMOU, you schmoe.
Why are you bothering us about the future?
"11.09.2001" is November 9, 2001 to most people at this forum.
Are you trying to tell us that it will be your 23rd birthday?

-- (_@_._), September 18, 2001.

Oh, now I get it, SHMOU.
You told us ... 11.09.2001 = 23 !
Well, I didn't sit down and check up on you, but I'll take your word for it:
Twenty-three factorial (23!) equals 11,092,001
