On Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time will be 01:02:03/04/05/06.
That won’t ever happen again. (Except For Europeans when it won’t happen until the same time on May 4th…)
You may now return to your normal life.
Wouldn’t 2106 offer the same set of numbers?
Indeed. Presumably it happened on 4 May 1906, 1806 etc.
What would be the proper way to celebrate this Pagan style?
I recommend a pagan orgy, that’s always a big hit.
No tentacles, though.
The atomic clocks might account for it. But in reality, not so much.
I think Pagans are underrepresented in today’s society.
I say we march on Washington for Pagan Rites.
Modern pagans are admirable in tossing off the shackles of the tribal superstitions their parents taught them. And contemptible for sheltering in another set of superstitions. But it is a curious point in timekeeping. And nothing else.
I say we smoke Ohio in celebration. The whole thing.
Maybe if you live in America. Us Aussies have to wait till May.
I vote we abandon all our modern possessions and return to a Neolithic lifestyle. Stone tools are so underappreciated these days. Damn kids and their bronze weapons, I bet they couldn’t make a flint spear point if their life depended on it. And it did when I was their age, dammit!
For that matter, won’t it happen again exactly 12 hours again in the afternoon. Unless you’re in the military, I suppose.
And all you europeans with your 24-hour clocks get it only once in May. Ha!!
Well, I think eating, and drinking, and sexual excesses. That would do it.
Or chanting and dancing if you prefer. (is there a shrug smily?)
And, out of deference to our Australians friends, we should do so on both days, just to be sure.
Any virgins thinking of becoming sacrifices please contact me immediately.

We’d never get it organized. The Wiccans would want to light candles and chant and the Asatru would insist on sailing up the Delaware in a longboat, storming the Capital with battleaxes, vanquishing the Senate, and getting drunk on mead.
You’re going to have to have the virgin Connie Swail…
Thank God, it’s Friday!
