Tomorrow, at 5 minutes and 6 seconds after 4 a.m., on the 8th of July, 2009, the time and date (in US date notation) will be: 04:05:06 07-08-09.
Most of the rest of the world uses the far more logical yyyy-mm-dd date notation (descending order, from large units to small, same as the way we notate clock time), and so will miss out on this minor curiosity.
OK, it's utterly silly. But 4AM offers few amusements; you gotta grab 'em while you can! =)
Although the significance of this event is tempting, I am going to try hard to avoid consiousness during the festivities. :-D
ReplyDeleteSome have pushed these equally useless time sequences as well-
ReplyDelete12:34:56 7/8/9
or
07/08/09 10:11:12
At least most of us will be awake then.
Are you sure about that YYYY:MM:DD notation? Down under we measure it as DD:MM:YYYY.
