Did you know

This morning at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00am the full time and date was:

01:02:03 04/05/06

Of course if you tell time backwards that is you put the month before the day (i.e. you are an American) this momentous event happened for you last month.

Yes I am easily amused and do make it my business to know things like this!

    You know, someone texted me this, on that date to tell me it was once in a lifetime thing and I was quick to ask: Why only 1am? Isnt it the same same thing at 1pm??

    [please dont tell me that 1pm is actually 1300 hours..?! Who uses millitary time outside the millitary? ]….

    Also, someone who was alive in 1906, wouldnt the same rule apply?

    Maybe I am just not a believer in ‘Once in a lifetime”… he he

    LOL @ Buff – Who uses military time outside the military? – MEEEEE!!!
    I get confused on 12hr times – especially if I have to read those am and pm businesses…

    @buff – u calling me a geek?

    LOL If I woke up suddenly and looked at my alarm clock at 11:12 – I would have a heart attack seeing as I would think I have slept for 12hrs already instead of 12 minutes. 24hr clocks rule – I seriously have a hard time reconsiling the whole 12-24hr clock routine.

    (this would need a whole post seeing as I have questions like – how do you say 0000 (midnight) or something geeky like that?

    *G walks off sulking* :(

    @ Mental – what? U blog here? I doubt it, seeing as your geekiness kinda transcends beyond the whole I have a blog routine.

    OK seriously, we-ingo – tihihihi – whatever that means it sounds a bit :D :D

    In the whole spirit of 118-118 (do not even start with me) I have got your number… and it is a 24hr one ;) – and dont even think of asking me to take a pew, or a number, or a stool, or or or… (sob) Its Friday :(

    This was a once-in-a-lifetime moment: at two minutes and three seconds past 1.00 a.m. on 4th May, the digital time was 01.02.03.04.05.06. This sequence only comes round once every hundred years!
    Of course, not everyone thought it was so special. For those of us in the United States, it was just 01.02.03.05.04.06, because the American numeric date format puts the month before the day, as in 9/11. The special moment passed (unnoticed by the rest of us **Sigh**) on April 5 this year!!!
