 It's about time:
  As the clock ticks over from 8:01PM on Wednesday, February 20th, 2002,
  time will (for sixty seconds only) read in perfect symmetry. To be more
  precise: 20:02, 20/02, 2002. It is an event which has only ever happened
  once before, and is something which will never be repeated. The last
  occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was long before
  the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock): 10:01AM, on
  January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is
  something that will never happen again.
