20:02, 20/02, 2002
Time check is 20:02:02 and the date is 20.02.02! Heh that was cool… just happens once in a millenium so the TV news reporter reminds us. He added that it is a time to reflect upon our dreams, whatever that was. Now back to downloading more mp3s.

“8:02 PM on February 20 this year will be an historic moment in time. It will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of bells, but at that precise time, on that specific date, something will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again.
As the clock ticks over from 8:01 pm on Wednesday, February 20, time will, for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002, or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002.
The only other time the clock has been “palindromic” (i.e., read backwards it looks the same as read forwards) was at 10:01 AM on January 10, 1001,and it will never happen again.
So, enjoy the moment!
And, as a special treat, here is my favorite “palindrome”:”A man, a plan, a canal, Panama.” The letters line up the same forwards and backwards.”
