447214 2006-04-18 19:46:00 On the first Thursday of next month at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00am, the time and date will be ;

01:02:03 04 /05/ 06 .

This is the first time that has happened & It won't ever happen again . So look out for the real Y2k bug, aeroplanes falling out of the sky and sewerage flowing up hill . Just like the millennium . :groan:

You have little time to prepare! :D

447215 2006-04-18 20:21:00 Thanks BM.
Useless trivia like this is useful to pass on to my friends!

447216 2006-04-18 20:33:00 For people who use the US-date version, the end occured on the 5th of April. I ask, the end of what? High prices?

And at 4 seconds after 5 minutes after 6am on the same day the time and date will be :
06:05:04 04/05/ 06

And for another piece of trivia, at 25 seconds past 6am, the date and time will be :

6:00:25 4/5/2006
which, if you place the numbers backwards, also reads
6:00:25 4/5/2006 - albeit with a liberal interpretation of where you place the : and /.

A :D

447219 2006-04-18 21:48:00 Surely it happened in the year 1006, and for that matter year 6, and will happen in 3006 as well if you're only using 2 digits for the year - all 01:02:03 04/05/06
Pointless fun with dates...

447220 2006-04-18 21:57:00 And of course its only if you go by the current mainly used calendar. This is not the date in the jewish calendar for instance. Or the Mayan one. I think according to the Mayan, and there End of World thing, its already ended.
So we are all a figment of our imaginations.

447221 2006-04-19 09:05:00 And look out for 6 minutes past 8pm on June 6th :
20:06 20/06 2006

I can't wait for truly palendromic dates such as March 10th or October 3rd 3001, which would be 10033001. :p

447222 2006-04-19 11:58:00 Or the Mayan one. I think according to the Mayan, and there End of World thing, its already ended.

I thought that END DATE was in 2012.

447223 2006-04-19 12:31:00 What a load of krap!!

This number sequence happens every 100 years.

Perhaps the message should have been introduced as: "This will only happen once in your lifetime" :D:D
