And from LA I say "Who gives a damn what Punxsatawney Phil says? I still have roses blooming in my front yard, and the lawn needs mowing.

That's not a palindrome!ha ha ha Take off the first 0.
Re: 2-02-02 - 02/02/02 09:53 PM
Jimmie, so there you are! I was worried where you might have run off to, young pup. I was just going to call the pound! You are correct about the need for dropping the first zero. I was going to say the same myself, but you beat me to it.

02-02-02 is fine if you are writing as its done in the US military. The first 0 before single numbers keeping naughty ones from changing the number ... and BTW the military does dates as in Europe day/month/year
So 02-02-02 is second of February 2002.
In the Massachusetts lottery on New Year the winning daily number was 2002 ... no kidding! So many winners they each ended up with about $275.

"Oh, two... Oh, two. Oh! Two!" -- Now there's romance in those numbers by far outweighing the winning of any lottery!

The first zero actually IS a naught.

Everywhere but the US(??) folks use the day then month then year.
On the strength of this, I make the first palindromic day as being 20 02 2002

So if I read you right, that won't be until August 2 of 2003, right?

Not so much dyslexia, stales, as the American version of right... us hegemonist types like to go against the grain if only for principle. We say the month first, we drive on the right side of the road, we use imperial weights & measures, we insist that Australia is on the bottom half of the world...

Then there's the one about I know, I know, it's old the dyslexic agnostic insomniac, who stayed up all night worrying about whether or not there really was a dog...

I s'pose the one's you've heard recently come to mind more readily?
