Happy Palindrome day 01/02/2010

What’s so special about today? It’s a palindrome

Jan. 2, 2010, is the second such date out of 36 that occurs this millennium. The first was 10/02/2001.

Aziz Inan, a University of Portland electrical engineering professor, has been studying this phenomenon and speaks with great enthusiasm as he describes the history of palindrome dates.

Before 2001, he excitedly pointed out in an interview yesterday, the most recent was in 1308, since days of the month never exceed 31. The next date comes next year: 11/02/2011.

In much of the rest of the world, today’s date appears as day/month/year, or 02/01/2010. But for inhabitants of these countries, rest assured that there will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate even more than our paltry 36: they will get 60 between 2001 and 3000, Inan says.

“Once you put the day in front of the month, everything changes for the rest of the world,’’ said Inan, who is working on academic papers on the subject.

Time & Date comes as 12:34:56 07/08/09

At 12 hr 34 min 56 sec on the 7th August 2009, the time and date will be 12:34:56 07/08/09! Having all numbers from 1 to 9 in the same order. Remember this wont be happening again in your life!! (next is only in the year 3009). last time this happened was in the year 1009. Be the first to tell your friends about this rare moment.
