For those of you who haven't seen it, here's an interesting bit of trivia that's been floating around: At 8:02 PM on February 20, 2002 a historic moment in time will occur. For that minute, something will happen that has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again. As the clock ticks over from 8:01 PM on Wednesday, February 20, time to the minute will read in perfect symmetry: 2002, 2002, 2002. To be more precise, 20:02, 20/02, 2002 (8:01 PM on a 24 hour clock, DD/MM, YYYY). This alignment has only happened once before, and will never happen again. The last time this happened was long before the days of clocks as we know them. It was 10:01 AM on January 10, 1001 (10:01, 10/01, 1001). And because our clocks only go up to 23:59, this is something that will never happen again! REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE WHEN IT PASSES
