Mark Feb. 20 as a day to set time aside to acknowledge the passing of something that will never happen again.
Got this in the mail this morning.
Mark Feb. 20 as a day to set time aside to acknowledge the passing of something that will never happen again.
At 8:02 p.m. that day, for one minute only, it will be
2002-2002-2002, or more accurately 20:02, 20/02, 2002.
Because there are only 24 hours on the international clock, this will never happen again!
Can this be true! ? ! ?

a friend of mine, some years ago, made certain to "close" on their new house at 12:34, in earl May, back in the late 70's.
they closed 12345678 (american style here, May 6, but it would have worked for June 5th.) as she said-- never again!
not a palindrome.. but a conspicuous moment in time!

Would it happen again on
2102-2002-2012 (or more accurately 21:02, 20/02, 2012), that is, at 9:02 P.M. on Feb. 12th, 2012?
(and similarly in years 2022 and 2032)
and another variant:
2002-2112-2002 (or more accurately 21:02, 21/12, 2012), that is, at 8:02 P.M. on Dec. 21st, 2002, those countries where Dec. 21 is written as 21/12 rather than as 12/21?
