Here is a life changing factoid for ya. This proves someone in this
world has too much spare time on their hands.
At 8.02pm on February 20 this year will be a historic moment in time. It
will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the ringing of bells,
but at that precise time, on that specific date, something will happen
which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again.
As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday, February 20, time
will, for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry 2002, 2002, 2002,
or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002.
This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th hour
of the 11th day of the 11th month which marks Armistice Day, but 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 and the 24-hour clock - at 10.01am
on January 10, 1001.
And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will
never happen again
