Today is the 5th Day, of the 5th Month, of the 5th Year of the Century. So, 05/05/05, No matter which date format you use, well, almost.

As to what this all means? - Dunno!

Heh.

I'm sure I remember reading something somewhere about an atomic clock on 6th July, 1998 which showed:

98/7/6 5:43 21 secs

[Debbie_King]

And yesterday, for all the Star Wars aficionados, it was a case of:

"May the 4th be with you"

:-)

Yep, and at 5 minutes and 5 seconds past 5 this'avo it'll be 05/05/05/ 05:05:05

No5 is alive!

Didn't Nostradomus have some prediction about 5/5/05?

[saoi_jp]

I noticed that too when writing a cheque. We'll have seven more of these (06/06/06, 07/07/07 etc) and there really should be some kind of word and party to mark the occasion.

It's already been and gone in the UK.

17:05:05 05/05/05 doesn't have quite the same ring to it!

[limbo]

depends how you like to set your clocks ;)

[trillianjedi]

I like to set mine to the correct time :)

I think there was a prediction about 5/5/2000 not 5/5/5. And I don't think it was Nostrodamus I think it had to do with the length of the main corridor in the Great Pyramid.

Some unit of measure (inch, foot, egyptian something?) represented a year and there were charges in the corridor that corresponded with big events of history (the birth of Jesus, World Wars, etc). And their was only enough corridor to last until 5/5/2000.

Obviously the world didn't end on 5/5/2000 and obviously I have read too many end of the world books.

Or at least a drinking game.

Didn't Nostradomus have some prediction about 5/5/05?

"...and yea, whereupon on the fifth day of the fifth month in the fifth year of the second millenium post-christ, a great conflagration of webmasters shall converge to banter uselessly about the quixotic date..."

[mattglet]

Thanks cEM, I knew I'd heard it somewhere ;)

[Essex_boy]

Didn't Nostradomus have some prediction about 5/5/05- yeah he said that by teh 05/05/05 we'd all still be beliving his nonsense.....

[sem4u]

Or at least a drinking game.

Something like 5 shots, 5 beers, 5 shots....

[Webwork]

Next in line: 06/06/06

What, me worry? Ahhhhhhhh!

[antman]

There's only 5 more years that programmers can use 1 digit year fields.

I think Nostrodamus wrote about it:
"In the year two thousand plus 10,
The problems of the millenium, will begin again."

Actually the correct date would have been...

2005/05/05

[Syzygy]

Actually the correct date would have been...

2005/05/05

Based on some countries useage of dates, but not all...

And, do 'today's' interpretations of Nostradamus' timelines incorporate the changes in the 16th century shift to the Gregorian calendar - which occured shortly after his demise? Did he foresee that?

I know P1R, that's why I said "No matter which date format you use, well, almost."

Now stop raining on the parade. ;)
