wow, and I thought it was cool in 2003 when the date was 01/02/03. The only problem with that article is that it says that this is the first time in human history that this has ever happened. But if you think about it, it happens every 100 years. 1806, 1906, 2006, 2106...

"the time and date, for the first time in all of humanity, will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

And, Pogue points out, this moment will never come again."

Well that's not true! What about the 4th April/May 1906, or 2106? ::) :)

What about for the people who write the day as day/month/year instead of month/day/year? ;D
