It will happen again in 2109. Just because you and I won't be here to see it, doesn't mean it won't occur.
Of course it will, 04:05:06 07/08/09 (3009, 4009, 5009, etc.), if we live to see the day.
Why wouldn't this happen again on July 8, 3009?
Come to think of it, why won't this happen again on July 8, 2109 (100 years from today)?
I see these things all the time saying this date/time stamp "will never happen again". They are always wrong.
A little over thirteen months ago it was 03:04:05 06/07/08 and thirteen months before that it was 02:03:04 05/06/07. I didn't get excited then either
The rest of the world writes the date with the day first 08/07/09 so I guess its all relative.
And next year we'll have 05:06:07 08/09/10. Big deal.
Then there's 09:09:09 09/09/09. Wow, all the possibilities.
