Another 9/9/99 failure (maybe)

At my school (Wake Forest University) all of the students are on a meal plan. We each have a debit account that is charged when we buy food on campus. Now, when I was buying dinner tonight, I asked to see my account balance. The food service lady told me that she couldn't tell me because "the system had been offline for the past week. I don't know when the system will be fixed" 9/16 - 7 days = 9/9. Hmmm.

Obviously, this is just conjecture at this point. I'll make some inquiries though and see what I can find out.
