How Did You Observe 12-12-12?

The alignment of the day, month and year won't happen again for many years.

Did you almost forget 12-12-12?.

Wednesday was that wonderfully odd time when we had an identical numerical convergence of the day of the month, the month of the year and the last two digits of the year. Hence Dec. 12, 2012.

To go another step deeper, we got the chance to see the minutes and hour in alignment, as well. Hence during the noon hour, we had 12:12 p.m. at 12-12-12.

And we won't get this chance again for quite a few years. Think about it: Next year is 2013 and we don't have 13 months in the year.

Really, it won't be until 2101 when we get the chance to see  another 1-1-01.
