01:02:03 04/05/06

Ashley, a young friend back home in New Zealand sent me an email about an event I wouldn't have noticed.

She wrote, just in case you wanted to know this.

On the 4th of this month, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be: 01:02:03 04/ 05/ 06

That won't ever happen again in our lifetime. In fact it will be
approx 400 generations before it happens again.

Living with a statistician I learned that the next few years contain a few more of these moments:

On the 5th of June 2007, at 3 minutes and four seconds after 2:00 in the morning, the time and date will be: 02:03:04 05/06/07

This will continue until 2013 when you will have: 08:09:10 11/12/13.
