At five minutes and six seconds after 4 AM on the 8th of July this year, the time and date will be 04:05:06 07/08/09.

This will never happen again...

Your somewhat right, but that's not exactly true. It all depends on what standard you format your time by.

I know that some places put the year first, then month, then day. This is especially true in warehousing.

So, August 9th, 2007 would also qualify once it was 04:05:06. :D

You are shortening 2009 to 09 so it will happen again in 2109, 2209, 2309, etc...

Ya in todays world every thing is getting scaled down
I remember I could crawl in to the hood of my truck many a year ago and close the hood
Now there is Not even room for my pillow:clap:

And my first Cell phone way back in 1985 was 100 X bigger then it is now
and it pumped out 6.5 watts :hair:
I bet you a engineer got hold of the Cell and the trucks and thought it is twice the size it needs to be.

Yup - Cell good - truck bad, I mean I know what it's like to try and wire into things there used to be space that let you wire in but now it all has to be as "compact" as possible :hair:.
