While it is still the 20th of Feb for those of you on the other side of the
pond (across the international dateline) this may interest you... even tho
I am probably a bit late with all the time differences between various
states in the US.
This was forwarded to me yesterday... and yeah I know some like to put the
month first, before the day.

At 8.02pm on February 20 this year it will be an 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.
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.
