On The 4th of next month, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the
morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
That won't ever happen again in our lifetime In fact it will be approx. 400 generations before it happens again.
For you US folks though, you already missed the boat.

Actually, it has already happened - so to speak - on April 5th. Trivia ?: How often does this happen?

I'm aware that it happened already in the US...but now I'm confused. Who is it different for, and why?

Did the UK miss the boat?

I think there is some real confusion here. First and foremost, what kind of boat are we talking about? To me, that is the important thing to consider.

It's a scooner, I think, Jim. That's why I never understand these things. I mean, I can't even tell you what a scooner looks like!

What about the same thing in 2106? That less than 400 years away.
Or 12:34:56 on 07/08/90??

The way I figure it, this should occur every one hundred years. Does that compute properly?
