[Fwd: Interesting Fact]

[Greg Newell]

Believe it or not but 8.02pm on February 20, 2002 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, on that specific date, something 
will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years and will never 
happen again.  

As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm 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.  

This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th 
hour of the 11th day of the 11th month whichmarks Armistice Day, but 
it is an event which has only ever happened once before, and is 
something which will never be repeated.  

The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was 
long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock - at  
10.01am on January 10, 1001.  

And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it is something that 
will never happen again.
