Totally useless trivia fact...
 
On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be:

01:02:03 04/05/06

This is the first and last time this will ever happen.

You may now return to your previously scheduled activities.

what happened in the year 1006? was the calender adjusted and the date skipped?

what are you trying to tell us about the future? no 2106? no 3006?!

Im worried now - I think Dave knows something! :cO

if you are counting on military time it will be the only time but if you are on a 12 hr system you can also count the one in the afternoon also...either way it is still a cool fact.



p.s. this got sent to me a few days ago from upstairs in my office and i had though of posting it but for some reason i didn't...nice job Dave

I think we all just proved Dave wrong...COOL!

no I think Dave has access to information from JPL and/or NASA that is not public knowledge, and he cant come right out and tell us

but in a way he IS telling us! :ahh:

Exactly. April 5, 1006 was not actually April 5, 1006, so it doesn't count. This is due to the switch from the Jacobian to the Gregorian calendar that occured in 1582, when to solar calendar was shifted by 10 days.

And by April 5, 3006, we will all be living on Alpha Centuri and the Gregorian calendar will cease to have any real meaning, so April 5, 3006 won't ever really exist either (I am willing to bet an entire mortgage payment on this one - go ahead, I dare you to prove me wrong!!!)

I tried!! I tried!!

But still, It's going to happen twice tomorrow if you are on the 12hr clock.

But I still plan on staying up and screen-shooting it. Yay =].

I think Dave is right about 1006 for another reason.

I seem to remember that we did not have 24 hour days until mechanical clocks were invented? At first clocks only had hour hands.

Does anyone know off the top of their head? In what year was the 24 hour day instituted?

and when were minutes and seconds added to our time keeping?

Im thinking it was well after the year 1006.

I know what it is. I feel so brilliant (even though a bunch of other people have probably figured it out too). Just use your powers of observance, and you will get it eventually.

But, it isn't technically the last time it will happen. So I wonder what else might be happening along with it?

I'm pretty sure that Alpha Centauri is a star. You can't live on a star.

no, we cant live on a star today, in our present form of existance

but 1000 years from now, if Dave is correct, then we will

If we follow our dreams, then we can all live on the stars
