First time ever event, this Wednesday...

Wednesday, ...Something will happen that has never happened before.... and will never happen again.

At precisely three seconds into the second minute of the second hour of the day, your clock/calendars will read
01:02:03 04/05/06

Toyota will be giving away free FJs that day too.
Yeah right

Should I stock up on supplies? Is this like that Y2K thing? Will the spaceship hiding behind the comet be able to take my luggage as well?

Wait, didn't that happen on 01:02:03 04/05/1906, 01:02:03 04/05/1806, etc? And won't it happen again on 01:02:03 04/05/2106?

Every 100 years we get a "01:02:03 04/05/06"

Yep. Clearly another example of posting before thinking.

Don't feel too bad, a guy on my local gun board posted the same thing.

Yes, but you have to share it with the other 13,698,630* or so people who also have that date as their birthday, so be patient...

Damn humans are breeding like bunnies! It seems like just yesterday I was reading in a school book that it was 4 billion...

Revised Math:

Yes, but you have to share it with the other 16,438,365* or so people who also have that date as their birthday, so be patient...

*6,000,000,000/365

Sorry Erich, your wait just got a little longer... But, your call is important to us, so please continue to hold...

According to http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html

Revised Revised Math:

Yes, but you have to share it with the other 17,828,871* or so people who also have that date as their birthday, so be patient...

Sorry Erich, your wait just got even a bit longer since the last post... But, your call is still important to us, so please continue to hold...
