On this day, 56 years ago, the Ames Sond series of films began!

With the release of Dr. Ssssnow on October 5th, 1962, the long-lived and illustrious career of the serpentine spy known as '00S' began.

Here's a still from Dr Ssssnow, showing the first proper on-screen moment of Ames Sond: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/28227409/

At the time, the film-makers didn't even realize that they were releasing it on such a perfect day: North American fans have coined this '00S day' because they write the date as 10/05, which can be viewed as 1005, which contains the digits '005', themselves appearing similar to '00S'.

[But seriously, yes, the real film, Dr. No, was released 56 years ago, on the 5th of October! Happy Bonding, everyone. :} ]
