Author	Topic: Almost to never to happen again....
engbrady Saint Posts: 2393 From: Indy Registered:	posted 02-17-2002 10:12 AM At 8:02 PM 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 8:01 pm 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. The only other time the clock has been palindromic was at 10:01 AM on January 10,1001, and it will never happen again.

I'll plan a party for those 60 seconds and maybe we can all make a post at this exact time in our area. I've already passed the information on to several friends who are interested in numeralogy and were unaware of this unusual event.
Lightseeker WACKO Posts: 117 From: Stratford, NJ USA Registered: Oct 99	posted 02-18-2002 02:28 PM uh . . . maybe I'm missing something, but what about 11:11 11/11 1111 in the past, and 21:12 21/12 2112 in the future? Bruce
engbrady Saint Posts: 2393 From: Indy Registered:	posted 02-19-2002 08:52 AM Ed pointed that out in the twin thread on the subject in the General Forum... It's hard to believe that something on the Internet could be wrong... I think I will still celebrate this time as I don't think I'll see 2112. As I said to Ed, good job catching that,

Paul will mark the time forever with a post in not one, but two different threads in two different forums at the exact correct time! Dave
