You won't see another date like this again!!

Post by Nigel H-J »

For the past 11 years we have had dates like 01/01/01 02/02/02 etc. as soon as Tuesday past into Wednesday I looked at the date 12/12/12. This is the last time we will ever see matching numbers like this so make the most of it chaps!! 8)

Regards

And the only thing I have planned for 12/12/12 is to go with the former Mrs. FlyTexas to launder a large comforter. :doh: :lol:

Talking of dates. :worried:

I tried in various ways during the year 2000 to point out there was something unusual about that year but even explaining, it was lost on most.

So here's the quiz, apart from the obvious.... start of the new millenium :lol: , what was unusual about 2000???

Hi Keith :hello:

You sort of have it...2000 was a leap year but to keep the calendar in check the centuries should be leap years but are not. But that is too much correction so every 400 years the century is a leap year. The next century leap year will be 2400, 1600 was the previous one.
