That won't ever happen again.

Well, truely and honestly speaking, it has happened before and will happen again. It just won't be experienced by any one of us.

In a parallel universe, Chop? Or in an infinite cyclycal universe perhaps?

3006. That's a rifle, right?

But not with 2 zeros in front of the 6.
That would be every thousand years.
And it actually happens twice, once in the a.m., then again in the p.m., right?

Another scenario would be:

01:02:03 (a.m.) 04/05/67

Yeah, I get that, Skleeve.

But zeroes are a strange beast, indeed.

And since they are counted as nothing, perhaps simple justice dictates that they should be accounted for whenever possible. If not justice, then consider tis: Nothing to the left of a zero means something, especially if there is a number to the left of that. Multiple zeros add up that way, but only in the presence of other numbers at their flanks.

Regardless, of the Centennial or Millennial sequence, and the deeply profound zero issue, when it happens, it happen 2 times in the same day, right?

So one should notice – if and when they are alive to notice – that it happens twice that day, not just once.

Of course if you're going by military time. Then it only happens once, and Spinny is correct about the morning one being the only one that's valid.

That also sets up an argument for the significance of the zeros that come before, although perhaps a somewhat esoteric one.

I personally really like the idea of 01:02:03 (a.m.) 04/05/67, I hope I get to see that one!

Me too, Chop (you, not me... I don't want to be 117 years old.)
