On Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won't ever happen again.

You may now return to your (normal ?) life. :p

Meaningful, in a completley meaningless sort of way.:p

Unless of course we change our dating system.

Aww, you told me like 18 minutes too late :(.

It should happen several times; once for each time zone. :p

Willamena already had a thread about this.

Let me point out that Europeans will have to wait until the fourth of May.

And that this will happen again in a hundred years.

Wait, we're like Europe. 4th of May for us in NZ too.
In which case, you told me about a month early :p

Erhum this will not happen again for the year will be 2007 so it will be, 02.03.04 05.06.07, and hence not the 123456 like mentioned in the first post so it wont happen again. EVER!! well not in the next 9999 years... in 10000 thought hmmm you never know :p

What about in the year 2106?

That reminds me of the lateral-thinking question, "What happened at 26 minutes to 1 on July 5th, 1978?"

pwnd

It means nothing. Our calendar is arbitrary. Imaginary numbers given imaginary meaning.

No, no, they're real. Imaginary would be like 12i+34i or something.

Uh-oh...are we going to delve into the meaning of 'real' now?

*runs away*

What about in the year 2106?
I won't be alive then, so I don't care.

So as far as I'm concerned, it won't ever happen again. Even if I did forget to type "in my lifetime". :p

Didn't we loose some years in the first millenium though, so no-one can be really sure of the date?

Anyhow, what about in Sweden, where they go all like this:
01:02:03 06/05/04?

How do you figure?

2006 = '06
Assuming the world survives the global calamity of the moment:
2106 = '06
2206 = '06
3706 = '06

But I'll be dead, so I won't care.

How do you figure?
Mild dislexia.

Does this discussion remind anyone else of the whole "2000 /= the new millenia" cries?

Global calamity? Of what do you speak? I don't see anything threatening the existance of humanity. Perhaps the peace of humanity, but most assuredly not its existence. We're tougher to kill than you think.

We're tougher to kill than you think.That's just because I haven't moved into the final phase of my plan to blow up the earth. Mwahahahahahahahahaha!

If that was June 5th I can see it.

or am I not being lateral enough :confused:

Global calamity? Of what do you speak? Which ever one the doomsayers are promoting. Peak Oil, Nuclear Fire, Solar Flare, whatever. I don't see anything threatening the existance of humanity. Perhaps the peace of humanity, but most assuredly not its existence. We're tougher to kill than you think.I forgot my :rolleyes: but I thought the phrasing was clear enough.

And of course everyone knows the world will end on June 6th :p

Damnit... kudos friend, you proved a cheese coated penguin wrong, my hat goes off to you.
