Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hello Family and Friends, Sorry for the mass email but this is cool! This is the last time EVER this will happen. Don't miss it! ~ aka Rainy At 8:02 p.m. on February 20 this year 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 something will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never happen again. As the clock ticks over from 8:01 p.m. 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 time there was such a symmetrical pattern was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock - at 10.01 a.m. on January 10,1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that will never happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hi Rainy, It has been a long time. This is great I will pass it along to my girls. I wanted to tell you I think it is great you got a scooter. I hope it makes traveling easier. I also read what you wrote about you friend and what she said. That was sad, I guess she spoke before she thought. She should have been honored to have you as a friend, so it is her loss. Hope you are doing well, Lynn ---------- > From: Rainy <rainysu@...> > Rainy Sue <rainysu@...> > Subject: [ ] Re: DON'T MISS THIS DATE AND TIME!!! > Date: Sunday, February 17, 2002 2:54 AM > > Hello Family and Friends, > > Sorry for the mass email but this is cool!
