It gets me thinking, perhaps there really is something about the #9 from a more esoteric point of view. In the old practice of Numerology, the number 9 is regarded as meaning the end of a cycle, which often leads to destruction of some type. Sure not scientific, but a fun explanation for the I curse.
Interestingly enough, in Numerology, there are other 'curses' out there involving Tropical Cyclones. The biggest one I know is something we can call the '25 Curse'.
Many, too many perhaps, of the most monstrous Tropical Cyclones around the world have bombed out on dates that either add up to 25, or contain the #25 in the day number.
Many of these went on to cause epic destruction on the same dates.
Another weird coincidence up there with the I-curse, sure makes life more interesting in an odd way
You could apply the 25 curse to 2005 as well. It's just 25 with two zeros in the middle, so 2005 would still add up to 7 in numerology the same way 25 would.
