05-05-05  tidbit

Postby Felix/FFDS » Thu May 05, 2005 8:59 am

Okay, so it happens only during the first 12 years of a century ....  but today is 05-05-05 ...  the ONE day this year that you whether you type in Month/day/year, day/month/year, year/month/day, or year/day/month, that there will be no discussion as to what day/month/year it is.

The third was 03-03-03...


I found it quite funny on FNC this morning they ran the date as 5-6-05....I thought "How in the world can you screw up the date TODAY??"

Fair enough. I thought it was the fourth actually.

My favorite date ever was 9/9/99. I had fun writing that one. ;D

Maybe. Maybe not. Such exciting dates are harder to spot in roman numerals. ;D

 I wish here in the U.S. we had the number of party choices that you Brits have.  Somehow the two party system here in the U.S. just doesn't cover all the bases.
