Mark your calendar for 01:02:03 04/05/06

As noted by good friend Blake (sans blog):
_well if yer workin the graveyard this week you'll be in for some sort of
historical triva. at 2 min, 3 sec after 1am wed the time n date will be:
01:02:03 04/05/06
that one won't happen again till the emperor decides to change the
calendar on us.
Update: Yes, depending on your preferred method of writing dates, this once-in-a-calendar occasion will either occur this week (mm/dd/yy) or in May (dd/mm/yy). Being Canadian, I've marked the date for May. And if you're a hard-core high-order to low-order kinda person, then you already celebrated on either 01/02/03 04:05:06 or 06/05/04 03:02:01 instead, or will instead mark 07/06/05 04:03:02.01 on your calendar. Your mileage may vary, offer not valid to expatriates of Saskatchewan or employees of the Directorate of Time.

Well, depends on how you write the date. In America, the date goes MM/DD/YY, so the 5th of this month would be 5/4/06. That means your really cool once-a-century date will also happen next month.

Oops, I got that backwards... that's the way Europe does it.

Rant --> On that note - people sometimes forget that in europe its the other way around mm/dd/yyyy.

Millions of people live in Europe and not the USA so why ask me for a zip code/state on every wsecd website and make it mandatory.
(grrr)
