12/12/12

Today is a momentous day. December 12th, 2012.

This will be the last day for a loooong time that we'll have a triplet date (I mean, you can't have 13/13/13.....)

That is all.

Not quite; there's no date or month "00". More like 989 years:
It will be January 1st in the year 3001 before we have a triple repeating date like 12/12/12.


[edit: Nevermind, I'm wrong. I'm an idiot.]

what about 01/01/2101? - when you write that date surely it'll be 01/01/01

89 years and counting!

I may have to return the rental yacht, take the strippers home, do some major explaining to the wife and do a lot of xmas shopping on the 22nd. Visa is going to like me either way.

But which 12 is the day and which is the month? Not that it matters.

But tomorrow it will be 13-12-12 and you US guys will write it 12-13-12. Totally bizarro...
