Wonder if THIS is on the Mayan calendar

#1 Post by Buffacuse » Sun Mar 08, 2009 6:47 pm

At five minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of July this year, the time and date will be 04:05:06 07/08/09. This will never happen again.

Wow, time flies:

I remember when our principal, a former math teacher, asked us to observe a moment at thirty-four past noon on May 6, 1978.

I doubt I will see that again since I would have to live a hundred more years...

Won't both of those events recur every 100 years?

It is still likely that they will happen only once in a lifetime.

For most of us.

I guess it won't happen again if you believe that end of the world shit, but I'd say that particular sequence of numbers occurs every 100 years....

My memory is the big deal made of 12:34:56 7/8/90...... whoopie!
