Time Goes On

Believe it or not but 8.02pm on February 20 this year will be an historic
moment in time.

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 and 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
which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never
be repeated.

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 - at 10.01am on
January 10, 1001.

And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will
never happen again.

Oh look that's the THIRD time it's been posted here at MW.

Joy! ;)

(this is like the y2k bug)

[faeriedust]

sorry just trying to answer her question.

[flar7]

other than that, maybe a comet thingy? or Grateful Dead concert?
would be really memorable...and scary.

[Yvonne Belisle]

[flar7]

so if they showed up and had a concert it would be scary! to me
anyway...
:eek:

[Theres]

so, how many more to go? (sorry)

anyway, the time thing only works if you're European, right? here in the U.S it would be 20:02, 02/20, 2002.
and while that's still somewhat interesting, it's not the same then, is it?

[Twig]

(While Greenman and I get back on topic. ;) )

That sounds like it to me. :D Cool!

Peace,
Twig
:elf:

[manstranger]

Well ... if you write it like a person from the U.S. I am from there and don't. I think that the 20th of January makes more sense than January the 20th. Don't ask me why.

It would still be the same. 20th of February, February the 20th... Same thing, only different order.
