I suppose I'm a bit late on the punch on this one, but last night (this morning), at 1:02 am and :03 seconds, the date actually read:
01:02:03:04:05:06
First hour, second minute, third second, of the fourth month, fifth day, of the sixth year. This won't happen again for another one hundred years. Cool!

Actually it happens again in less than a month, because Europeans reverse the month/day designations...thus 04/05/06 to them is May 4th, xx06.
Just thought I'd be a smartass.

I acually thought that too, then remembered, what about 01:02.03 04/05/06 *PM*?

Dale~ Remember, an AM/PM system assumes that you are operating on a 12-hour clock. The 24-hour clock, aka military time, aka continental time, aka international standard notation of time, is arguably the most accurate system of time because it leaves no room for ambiguity. (did she mean 7:30 am or 7:30 pm?) 24-hour clocks are pretty common in the UK and in many parts of the non-English-speaking world. But all that aside, I guess you *could* consider the PM side of things.
