Oi! This country (Greenwich to be precise) is where the world's time is worked out from, so what we say goes. 5/4/06 is quite correct, thank you very much!

Indeed, you'll have to wait until May.


May the 4th be with you :groan:

 

[bursty]

Meh, I'm in America and it works for me. Who cares about the rest of the world.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Who cares about the rest of the world.

Well, all the countries who write their days and months the right way round do, for starters...

[macEfan]

interesting... how odd these facts just happen sometimes..

 

[blackfox]

This reminds me of my little birthday celebration a few years ago. My birthday is Jan. 2nd. So in 2003, at 4:56 pm it became 1/2/3/4/5/6.

I celebrated this great event with a pint. Naturally.

 

[stubeeef]

Once in a thousand years...and it's coming!

This Wednesday, just after 1am, the time and date will be

01:02:03 04/05/06

BTW: "01:02:03 04/05/06" only happens once

[stubeeef]

[EricNau]

What about in the year 3006?

darn, you got me, but I'll be dead, so I don't care

 

[WildCowboy]

It happens every 100 years, not 1000 years.

 

[mad jew]

[2nyRiggz]

A Unique Moment in Time

I realize it's already happened across the pond, but I thought I would point out that in a few hours here, a very unique moment in time will occur. It will be April 4, 2006, and the time will be 2 minutes and 3 seconds past 1 o'clock in the morning. In other words, the exact date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06

This will not occur again for another one thousand years.

Enjoy!

P.S. I also realize that due to the way the English represent their dates, the above could be construed as May 4, 2006 as well, since they use the dd/mm/yy format and we usually use the mm/dd/yy format.
