h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This year, on the 4th of May, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 AM (that's an hour after my birthday ends)

The time and date will be 01:02:03:04:05:06

This won't ever happen again! Well, until May the 4th 2106 anyway (when I'll be 151 and pretty wrinkly)

So it won't be International Star Wars Day as May the 4th usually is...it'll be Century Star Wars Day!

May the 4th Be With You
or
Live Long and Prosper for the Trekkers

Blimey, where do you people go to learn stuff like that?

We other people's journals

Oh, and there was me thinking you were being super original, too

Nawww, I've seen this somewhere before ( in another journal), but although it's nice, i think I'll just sleep through it

To be honest, I'd rather lok at it from another angle..
The way you've written it up is a bit inconsistent as it goes from big measurement to smaller, then back to bigger again.. (hour is bigger than minute which is bigger than second, which is way smaller than day, which is smaller than month and year.

I'd rather say that the unique time will be two minutes and one second past three in the morning that would be better.. Counting downwards.

Then it would be 06/05/04 03:02:01.

Damn. Missed that one!

And if you go by the normal British method, then 01/02/03 04:05:06 happened over three years ago.

I'm waiting for the sixth of June myself.

Let me guess? 06/06/06 06:06:06

I'm not going to ask - I'm half asleep
Goodnight

Why would all noughts and sixes be particularly significant? What was wrong with the 4th April, and why not the 5th May?

In 2004 and 2005 respectively, obviously...

Revelation 13:18

I prefer 1 secound past 2:01AM on 3rd May 2008, written in assending unit order (ss:mm:hh DD/MM/YY)

Of course, another twist to this is should you type out the date using the US date format, but with the time first, in which case the date in question would have been last wednesday, 5th of April. (The Yanks type out dates in Month/day/year format for some strange reason).

OR for Trekies 17 and 1/100 of a s after 5:01PM on the 17th Jan 305 years ago.

Good show, Phil. I like that thinking.

Thanks Bagpuss!

Or my Birthday last year.

May the Fourth is war rememberance day in the Netherlands, 2 min silence at 8 pm (cet).
