I missed it.
About a half hour ago, it was 05:06:07 on 08/09/10.
It’s the second time this has happened today, but will not happen again for another thousand years. And yes, it only works for Americans.
Ooh I saw this just in time to impress my daughter with my fun trivial knowledge.
Actually it will happen again next year at 06:07:08 on 09/10/11
I’m PST so I’ve got an hour plus change to go…
(and knowing me, I’ll miss it anyway)
Well, it only works today for Americans.
Other countries have almost a month to get ready for it.
And the year after that at 07:08:09 on 10/11/12 … .
I’m waiting for November of next year when it will be 11:11:11 11/11/11. Twice. In Europe too.
And we’ll be marking it with 2 minutes’ silence.
