Rare Time Alignment Tomorrow
Status: Partially true, partially false
An email is circulating around that makes the following claim:

On Wednesday of this week (tomorrow), at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 a.m., the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
This will never happen again.

That's just wrong. It probably won't happen again in any of our lifetimes, but it will happen again: in 2106, 2206, 2306, etc. And in Europe they write the date as day, month, year, so it won't be true over there. (But you could fly over to the UK and experience the same 'rare' phenomenon on May 4th of this year!)

The original email doubtless being brought to you by somebody who celebrated the end of the millennium on 31st December 1999.

hi 10CS, I can guess exactly where I was on that date too. June 5th is my birthday, I would have been 12 that day, it would more than likely have been the Whitsuntide school hols and I would have been having my dinner about 12.30. Even if it wasnt school hols I would have still been having me dinner but at school lol
