On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03  04/05/06!
It will never happen again!

It is going to happen twelve times around the world though! Assuming there are 12 time zones. CAnt be bothered to check

Funnily enough this will happen two times this year unless I have my wires crossed somewhere. ;)

In America and its date/time sharing neighbours it will happen on Wednesday... the 05/04/06

In the UK (And Europe)where we date things differently it'll happen on the fourth of May, the 04/05/06 ;D ;D ;D

So we can all do it twice!

Dunno what your talking about, but we have to wait almost a month more for that you know.... (4th of may ;) )

And it's going to happen 24 times Rick, as there are 24 time zones ;) And if you follow the AM/PM notation instead of a 24 hour notation, it will happen even 48 times!

Well I think there are some places that have a wierd 30 min offset so It could be more thatn 24 times :-)

Well it would have happened in 1806 1906 and it will happen in 2106 2206 and so on.

Don't forget 06:06:06 06/06/06.  :

Now that is scary.  ;D ;D ;D

Then there is  11:10:09 08/07/06

A more unique event was 19 Nov 1999. (19/11/1999)

Why?  It was the last time any of us saw a date that was all odd numbers.  It won't happen again for thousands of years.

OK I'll stop for now. :D

Tom's correct,  there're indeed more than 24 time zones, these are the base zones and then there are a number of additional zones where smaller than an hour differences occur.

good wheeze while it lasted.

too much mathmatics at this time of night :P

my head hurts.

You lot should get out more  ;)

19/11/91 was a good date because I like palindromes but I believe the last perfect palindromic date was 20/02/2002

11/11/3111 should be the next one. I wonder if Le Mans will still be going?  ;D

How about 11/11/11 and 11/11/111 and 11/11/1111 the next one is 11/11/11111  ;D ;D ;D

That is pretty unique.  since you can't have 22/22/2222  though you can of course have 22/2/22  :-)

I think I can come up with some really bizzar stuff tonight.  :-)

What about  30/02/2003  though it's actually written.  02/03/2003.

t.

Eh? Firstly there aren't 30 days in February and secondly 30/02/2003 isn't the same as 02/03/2003. What ARE you talking about Tom?  ::)

Is that using the Roman, Julian or Gregorian calender?

Ahhhhhhhhh, now we're talking, alternative calendars.  Last Thursday was Nyepi, a very important New Years day!!  First person with the correct Balinese date, blast around LM in June. 8)

1928

Now if you had a picture of Ronnie holding up a calendar I might just possibly give a rat's a*se!!  ;D

Its only the 05/03/1427 in the Hijri calendar so we can do this all again in 600 years!!!!

28 Feb =  28/02/2003
29 Feb = 1 Mar = 29/02/2003 = 01/03/2003
30 Feb = 2 Mar = 30/02/2003 = 02/03/2003

Get it?

It's a unix thing. :-)   

You obviously get out too much robspot. :D

Just for you  :-*

Quite correct Mr Brown, however you will always come out for a spin so you can allocate to someone else if you wish. FS

Sorry, I forgot to turn my Geek filter off  ;D ;)

Well done Steve, you made an old woman very happy! 

You mean date things correctly and in a logical order!

Fri Feb 13 23:31:30 2009 will be a momentous day as it will be 1,234,567,890 seconds since Midnight Jan 1 1970. 

Just so you know Unix and linux systems calculate time in seconds from Midnight on Jan 1 1970.

February 14, 1983...  Creepy eh?

Yes! but  not a creepy as...   Mon Apr 14 15:27:43 1952   That is 0xdeadbeef seconds from 00:00:00 Jan 1 1970.

Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038  Is a more worrying time as all 32 bit Unix and Linux systems will overflow the second counter and the clocks will jump back in time to Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901and we'll have to start all over again.  <sigh>
