David Pogue Correction
byI saw this story on Wired News. It came from New York Times columnist David Pogue.
As the story states: “Late tonight—specifically, 123 seconds after 1:00 a.m.—the time and date, for the first time in all of humanity, will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.” The story also mentions that this moment will never come again.
I beg to differ. This has occurred every 100 years and will occur every 100 years: ...1806, 1906, 2006, 2106, 2206, etc.
It’s just trivia, but…
This story seems to have gone viral. I saw it on the Web, it has been emailed to me, and I’m sure it has made the office circuit via traditional word-of-mouth. I don’t want to spoil the party for someone throwing a 01:02:03 04/05/06 bash, but come to think of it, at least it could be the party of the century.
