At just after 1:00 am tomorrow, something neat will happen.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

At just after 1:00 am tomorrow ( Wednesday ) morning, the time and date will be :
01:02:03 04/05/06

I like this kind of symmetry, it’s happened a bunch of time since the turn of the millenium. What cracked me up about the email that informed me of this neat event was the serious closing sentence:

THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN .

:rolleyes: Uh… .well. Gee. It’s 11:34:06 04/04/06 right now and unless time and space become akin to a taffy pull machine and are able to fold back upon themselves and reoccur, this moment that just occurred will never occur again either !

I suspect that the people who started passing this around didn’t really think that part of the email through very well. Nevertheless, the sheer symmetry of it appeals to me. I will be awake, and in a t.v. studio and likely not able to do anything celebratory about it, but it’s going to be in my head tomorrow anyway.

Here’s a thread I started earlier on the same subject.

Holy moley !!!

Time really does fold back on itself !!!

Mods, please feel free to lock this, I didn’t catch the existing thread when I posted this one.

And, enjoy the moment of Symmetry !

Well, I’m celebrating:

04/05/06 07:08:09

5

Until exactly 12 hours later that same day. Unless you’re on military time.

6

Or until 2106.

7

There isn’t any symmetry.

Well personally, I plan to stay late tonight and get horribly drunk to celibrate this new holiday, the “Feast of Sequential Time and Date Digits”. Who’s with me?

9

It appears I’ve started celebrating early, that should read:

Well personally, I plan to stay up late tonight and get horribly drunk to celebrate this new holiday, the “Feast of Sequential Time and Date Digits”. Who’s with me?

Well, actually, it will happen on 4th May 2006 - 01:02:03 04-05-06 and then there’s 09:08:07 06-05-04.

And let’s not forget 06:06:06 06-06-06 :smiley:

11

I think I’ll wait until 06-05-04 03:02:01.

12

I am waiting to hit 123,456 miles on my car. I’m going to try to remember to time it so that the trip odometer shows 789.0 at the same time.

It makes me miss my dad. :frowning:

My dad would throw parties at the drop of a hat. Parties at our house were:

A) Big. All day long, grill 20 lbs of sausage, have a couple kegs and invite 100 or so of your closest friends, big.

B) Legendary. So much that last summer when we announced I was selling and moving from that same house, after buying it from my mom 4 years ago, (Dad died in 1992) people called and “forced” me to have One Last Blast at the house. 125 people came through out the day, some of whom I haven’t seen more than once or twice since Dad died.

Now the reason this makes me miss him is that some of his more memorable parties came on 8/7/87 and 8/8/88 (that was also to be the first Cub’s night game, but it got rained out, not bothering me of course, the Sox fan). Yeah, that’s right, he threw big-ass parties just because the date was neat like this.

6/7/89 was a party. Perhaps one of the better ones was the next year. We celebrated twice, once at 12:34:56 just after midnight, on 7/8/90. Then again just after noon. Yes, we were up all night, and yes we stayed late into the night that night.

I know dad would be throwing a party for this. I’m thinking I should stay up late and drink a toast.

That’s a neat story about your dad. It’s nice to hear about families that have cared about each other. What a wonderful memory to carry with you.

15

You’re going to have to wait for a nine hundred and ninety- eight years and change.

:slight_smile:

16

And here’s a third thread on the same topic pre-dating the other two.

17

You know what the first thing I thought when I read the OP was?

“What the hell is he on about? It’s not the 4th of May tomorrow!”

You Americans and your crazy mixed-up date rendering… :wink:

18

Did you mean celebrate, calibrate or celibate?

Given that you are going to be slurping the turps, my money’s on the latter. :stuck_out_tongue:

19

Cool as it may be, this date pales when compared to the parties we had back on June 9, 1969. :smiley:

I dunno, if he/she is crafty about it, all three could occur at the same time.

:smiley:
