TIME

On Wednesday of this week, on April 5 at two minutes and three seconds after 1 o’clock, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. This will never happen again unless you use a 12-hour clock, in which case it will happen again 12 hours later… or unless you live in Europe or elsewhere that uses dd/mm/yy format, where it will happen on May 4… it won’t happen again, at least until the next century!
