12:34:56 7/8/09

Did you realize that today was the only time this millennium that the exact time would look as if it was learning to count to ten?


At 12:34 (and 56 seconds) on today, July eighth (7/8/09) the exact time was a running string of consecutive numbers. I guess this was not a big deal for those of you in Europe though where the day is typically placed in front of the month in a time stamp.

It's not exactly as big as 7/7/07 (one of my personal favorite days), but it is pretty neat!

If you missed it either time today (not using a 24 hour clock of course), you'll just have to hold on until the next time it happens, in the year 3009.
