Just thought I’d be the first to mention it.
Only 397 until Undicember 13th, 2013. Which I believe falls on a Monday.

I was asleep at 12:12:12, but in military time that was 00:12:12 so I guess I’m still good.

As mentioned in another thread, but it looks good for a repeat here:
[Lots of mass weddings](http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/asia/325826/marking-lucky-day-with-mass-weddings) on this side of the world on this auspicious day.
[But the computers crashed](http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/325816/system-crashed-on-12-12-12) in Bangkok’s Bang Rak district office from all the couples trying to register there. Bang Rak, in central Bangkok, is one of the city’s 50 districts. It literally means “Place of Love,” and Thais consider it an especially auspicious place to register their marriages. The district office sees a lot of action on auspicious days such as today and even the Western Valentine’s Day, February 14.
By an odd coincidence, the Patpong red-light district is located in Bang Rak, heh. 😃

I was at work at 12:12 AM 12/12/12; there was an odd feel in the call center- several people were waving flags. I don’t know what that was about. There was just a general buzz in the air, people talking amongst themselves. Then, at 12:13, it just… stopped. Like flipping a switch. It was just sort of weird.

A little of each, I guess. I can figure out, in my head, what day of the week any date falls on. For 13/13/13, I just used 1/13/14.

12/12/12, and you know the World ends on the 21, which is 12 backwards!, and adding 1+2, 1+2 and 1+2 is 3/3/3, which if you multiply each by 1 and by 2 is 666!!!
Nah… can’t do the crazy numerology thing convincingly; I need to re-read Foucault’s Pendulum.

I did not know about that. Sounds fun!
Is it always on 11/11, or always on a Sunday?

I forgot to do anything exciting at 12:12 today. In fact, looking back on my day, I think that at that exact moment, I was taking a whiz. Not too exciting. 🙂

So the next time this happens (repeating date digits) will be January 1, 2101, correct? 01/01/01?

The 12th of December is a significant day every year.
It’s the 12th day of the year that Americans write the date correctly.:D:p
