Time In Perfect Symmatry

    As the clock ticks over from 8:01PM on Wednesday, February 20th, 2002, time will (for sixty seconds only) read in perfect symmetry. To be more precise: 20:02, 20/02, 2002. It is an event which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock): 10:01AM, on October 1st, 1001. This will happen only once again on 21:12, 21/12, 2112.

    i got this in an email 2day, is it true ?

    Well, no there's more if you think about it.....

    11:11 11/11/1111 (11:11AM Nov 11th 1111)

    Which while slightly bending the rules still applies. There are a couple more for you to find.......:)

    Biggest load of crap I've ever read from a chain email. As mentioned by someone else, 1111 11:11 11/11 is an even later date and I am sure there are more dates like that. As for there will never be another day like this...what about 2112 21:12 21/12???

    I think the word you were looking for was palindrome.
