Hmm.
You know all these "FW: Re: FW: Doorst.:" emails your mother seems to be sending you all the time?
At least my mother does. Some of such emails consist merely of a "Warning, there's a new virus out there!", but luckily mom's stopped sending me such mails, after I explained to her how pointless and (especially) incorrect such emails are.
The next stadium was one of those "Please help, cancer kid! Forward this email, please!" which she's now stopped doing, too.
She's even passed the stadium in which she sends jokes, now, and gone towards trivia; today, I got this in my mailbox:
On thursday, may 4th, at two minutes past 1 AM in the morning, the time and date will be the following:
01:02:03 04-05-06
This will never happen again!!!
She's got a point. Of course, this only applies if you live in a place where the time is usually stated in DMY order. But still, that's kinda funny.
But I'm not going to forward it to anyone.
Update: 5.
('course I knew people would react. I just wanted to know how many people would react, given that I'd only be AFK for four hours)
but you just did forward it, to quiet a lot of people. the only difference is, if you sent it out on email, my filters would probably have caught it. or "blogs are the mailinglists of the 00's"
As this event will be repeating every 100 years (unlike the more geeky ideas I saw over six years ago at Slashdot about 1999-11-19 19:59:59, the last completely uneven moment in over 1000 years, or 2000-02-02 00:00:00, the last completely even moment in over 1000 years). But even with more simplistic numbers... We had 00:01:02 03-04-05 last year. This year it is 01:02:03 04-05-06. Next year, 02:03:04 05-06-07. And you can move it forward - not indefinitely, but still
