    NSR: 01:02:03 04/05/06

    For those of us in North America, at some point this afternoon, it will be 1:02pm and 3 seconds, making it 01:02:03 04/05/06. It's just a cool thing.

    Yurp peons will be able to enjoy the same coincidence in 29 days, on 4 May, due to their more logical method of abbreviating the date.

    Enjoy!

    Also, at some point, it was 04/05/06 07:08:09.

    This really isn't that special.

    Yeah that was the real one. The one this afternoon is technically 13:02:03.

    Yes, but most of us presumably either missed that one, or missed its significance. Rather than rub it in, I proffered a second chance.

    Not really. 24 hr time is no more "technically" correct. Not everyone uses it. If you want to push the cause then it was at 010203 zulu time which is the standard TGR uses. Fun, but pointless.
    The snow doesn't give a soft white damn whom it touches.
