Did anyone get up to look at the clock this morning? I have to say I did :eek::)

If you missed it there is a further chance to see it tonight at, yes you guessed it, 08.08.08pm although for the purists its not the same as it will be 20.08.08 on the 24 hour clock.

I was going to try and post at that time but was too busy staring at my clock to remember.

The Americans/Canadians/South American/Others still have the chance to view it due to timezones.
 
Typical students... Still in your pit at 08:08am :D ...

I was on my way to work. So I spent 08:08:08 08/08/08 listening to Mike Parry on Talksport doing press ups while singing the Chinese National Anthem in English.
 
How's this for timing...

I clicked in to this thread and started reading it, and only then did I look up at the title bar of my phone and saw the time: 8:08. :D

Too bad I didn't take a screen shot of it. :(
 
Ugh! You funky UK people and your stupid dates. Just stop it. This is the correct way to simplify August 8, 2008: 08/08/08!

Yep, the 6, 8's!

8th day, 8th month, 8th year, 8th hour, 8th minute and 8th second.

Pretty darn cool!

Next time will be all 9's. :)

I am looking forward to this one:

11/11/11 @ 11:11.11

Now that will be cool. :D
 
Damn, I missed the real one this morning, I guess I can settle for the fake one tonight.

*Goes to make an iCal calendar for 09/09/09 09:09:09*
 
I was awake for it and staring at the clock, although I didn't realize it was 08.08.08 08/08/08. Sadly I have an injury and haven't really been able to get a decent night's sleep in weeks. So I was staring at the clock wondering why if I am tired why I was still awake. :p Frustrating but at least I know I was able to "accomplish" something.
 
Well, we can technically continue events like this every year until 12/12/12...which, coincidentally, the world is supposed to end around then anyway (according to the Mayans)....so there will be no point continuing after that.

At least 08/08/08 isn't hellish like 06/06/06 was.
 
Days like these freak me out...its like friday the 13th but worse and all the weird things will happen today.

I suspect there will be a lot of weddings today, hard to forget what your anniversary was, haha.

as a purist, one can say it's 2008, not 08 a.d.
