An HISTORIC MOMENT in time will occur at 8:02pm on February 20 this year. It will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of bells, but at that precise time, on that specific date, something will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years! Something that will never happen again!
As the clock ticks over from 8:01pm on Wednesday, February 20, time will, for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002. This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month which marks Armistice Day, but it is an event that has only happened once before. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock. It occurred at 10:01am on January 10, 1001; or, 10:01, 10/01, 1001. Because the clock only goes to 24:00, it is an event that will never occur again.

Why is it the DF gets distracted by something so insignificant as "work" at a time that we really need him?

Uh, but didn't it happen at 11:11am on 11/11 in the year 1111? I mean, it is symetrical.

Well, the original message does make mention of 11/11, so I guess that weren't unaware of this.

Don't worry. It'll happen again in about 110 years. 21:12 on 21/12 in 2112. Now let's just try and live long enough. Cause it's worth it.

And which month would be the 21st one? And don't go begging off that you are using European calenders either, we don't cotton to that kinda talk here.:bandit:

:hmm:
I feel a lot better now. The only thing I need is to live another 110 years to see that equally useless occurrence...
No offense, I just don't buy into this stuff...

Please don't inturrupt Kevster in his own little world. We don't like to trouble him too many mundane things like time.

Hey hey hey...I was just being consistent with the method of the original 2002 bs. If you're gonna be that picky, here you go.
