A "day" to remember...

qjakal · Feb 18, 2002

For your amazement........
As the clock ticks over from 8:01PM on Wednesday, February 20th, 2002, time will (for sixty seconds only) read in perfect symmetry. To be more precise:

20:02, 20/02, 2002.

It is an event which has only ever happened once before, and is
something which will never be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock): 10:01 AM, on January 10, 1001.
And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will never happen again.

Too much "time" on my hands, I guess....lol...😱 Q

Well....

Actually I'm just passing it along, and i'm not sure that "it'll never happen again" is accurate... what about

21:12 21/12 2112 ?? Doesn't this mean there will be quite a few "alignments" of this sort?
