On Wednesday of this week at 2 minutes and 3 seconds past 1 a.m, it will be:

01:02:03 04/05/06 (assuming you use mm/dd/yy date format)

This will never happen again. :)

Actually.. It will... you see you folks in the US use the date format mm/dd/yy There are many many many countries (including Australia) that use the format dd/mm/yy

So... at that same time on the 4th of may.. it will happen for most of the rest of the world

Because I do try to bear in mind that I'm speaking to a global audiance. Of course, sometimes I go a tad overboard with that. A couple weeks ago at work I was doing a maintenance schedule which included temperature changes. I kept saying "degrees fahrenheit" through the whole chart. Of course, since in the US we only measure temp in fahrenheit that's a bit unecessary, a fact that was pointed out to me by the maintenance supervisor. :)
