OT - a date worth noting.

This calls for a celebration of some sort.... On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and threeseconds after 1:00 AM, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won't happen again until 3006 (you may not be around to celebrate it)....

Hmm, interesting. I like stuff like this. (Call me a dork but I always like it when digital clocks say 12:34)

Thanks starboardlight, I love interesting things like that.

I'm hoping to be immortal by then *putting a lot of hope towards technology*.

Thanks, Star.
I used to -- oh God I'm a nerd -- yell "One Two Three Four O'Clock!" whenever I saw that glory upon a digital clock.

Hey, here's nerdiness for ya: I went to a school whose upper school head (yes it was a hoity toity private girls' school) was also the head of the math dept. and on the day before a date that struck her as neat-o (for example 9/19/1991 or something), she would make a long-winded announcement about it in morning meeting and tell us that in celebration we could "wear our own clothes."  Man, this sounds SO lame and silly.  Cause it is.  Own clothes as opposed to our uniforms.  But to a middle or highschool girl, wearing our own clothes was a big big deal.

Of course, that only applies to people who write the date that way.  Don't Europeans and Asians write the date with the day FIRST?

April 5, 2006 would be written as 05/04/06?

that is true. In Thailand, they don't even use the Christian years. It's the year Two thousand Five hundred something now.
