True, but 01,02,03,04,05,06 (which is especially neat) won't happen again for another century.
I do recall living through 8/8/88 and 9/9/99 and hearing about it on the news back then. Those were kind of neat too. Don't think I heard about 7/7/77 at the time, though. Must be neat too for those people born on those dates. And makes their birthday easy to remember for their family and friends!
Well actually, 01,02,03,04,05,06 will not only happen at 1:02:03 am , but 12 hours later again at 1:02:03 PM! And THEN, should not be for a hundred years. Hey! That means I WILL be AWAKE for that while at work tomorrow afternoon! And here I was talking about having to set my alarm for one o'clock in the morning if I wanted to be awake through this point!
Ohhhh but 1:02:03 PM is really
13:02:03, not 01:02:03, because it's the 13th hour of the day, whereas 1am is the first hour. Oh well, technically it is 2006, not 06 (the sixth year) so......
Oh heck! It's just a neat little peculiarity!
