Back on track back on track.... okay I was the first to get off track (apologies to all..)

The fine for leaving a public toilet unflushed in Singapore is $150

LOL....

These are very "Strange, But True Facts!"

(Or so it seems...)

Here's an interesting fact i got in an email today:

On Wednesday at two minutesand 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 Nevada, when you are released from jail, you can request a gun and a horse. Law says the sheriff must then give you said gun and horse. (they have bags of plastic horses and guns for the smart asses that ask for them)

That won't ever happen again.

I've seen this a few times now and I wonder why that last bit always accompanies it.

This will be the 21st time its happened in the modern calendar (Maybe) and it  will happen again in 100 years.  Maybe the author of that email knows something we don't.

I didn't think of that, i guess it will happen again, just not in my lifetime.

And actually it will happen twice on that day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon!!!

Maybe we'll live 120+ years at that point in the future.

I guess that depends on how you look at it, I think the person who wrote that email was thinking official/military time, in which case the afternoon will be:

13:02:03 04/05/06

Good except for the 13.  [smilie=armata_pdt_03.gif]  But if you're thinking on the 12-hour clock, then yes it will happen twice tomorrow.

I seen this too, and I replyed "yes it will, exactly 12 hours later"

bah, someone beat me to it

"01:02:03" Mil. time

1:03 AM 12-hr time


If you say it would happen twice, i would say that is false.  1:02 PM is the thirteenth hour of the day.  And just like seanm028 said... it would look like 13:02:03....
