Today is the last time that any of us will see the month, day, and year all be the same numbers - 12/12/12. The next time this will happen will be New Year's Day, 2101. Do you remember any of the other MDY dates that have happened in this millennium?
01/01/01 - The first day of the new millennium - This was also a "special" date for computer programmers since the date is the same in binary.
02/02/02 - Groundhog Day - Nothing really special about this Groundhog Day.
07/07/07 - The largest mass weddings in history and, conveniently, a Saturday - Many couples thought that being married on this date would bring their marriages luck. I wonder how many of those marriages survived...
08/08/08 - The Opening Ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics - I learned that 8 is considered a lucky number in China.
12/12/12 - The last time we will see this phenomenon. Today is also a special concert for raising money to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Make this a day to remember.
