About Time--but Not What You Think
Interesting Tidbit
Just in case you wanted to know!
On Wednesday of THIS week, 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.

You may now return to your (normal ?) life.

Thanks John. Seems the thread started a few other minds working also. Our Brit friends will have to wait until May since they don't use the format we in the West use.
I didn't realize that this subject was/is being discussed in another forum. Thanks Brendan. I also started this thread because I had received the same email; one that must be making it's way around the world. It did start a dialog.

No, the afternoon time is 13:02:03, as it is in military time.

It happens once every millenium. It will happen again in 3006. Let's plan a party!
