Jon, you like numbers. How about this one I figured out: 20.02 20.02.2002 That is 2 minutes past 8, 20 February 2002. Most of the world puts the day first, then the month. There are only two palindrome years, 1991 and 2002 in our lives. 20.02.2002 is a double palindrome. Add the time, 20.02 to the front and we have a triple palindrome. That is so unheard of it could be the only one in all of history [I haven't checked]. I think it must be a very important date signifying great things. Very omenous and auspicious. "A man a plan a canal Panama" is a good palindrome. There is probably a website with huge palindromes and maybe even for dates. But 2002 is one of the very few palindrome years. 1991 too. Before that, we have to go to 1881, 1771. After 2002, we have to wait until 2112. Which means we are living our last palindrome year. If we last until 2112, we could have 21.12 21.12.2112 for a time, date and year triple palindrome. Okay, so they aren't all that rare. But 20.2.2002 is still quite good. I wonder what the probability of you entering a post right then is.
