I don't mean in the evil "spring ahead" sense, nor "fall back," either. I mean in the neat math weirdness way:

As recalled on Boing Boing, this Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

Neato!

On my first day of 7th grade, I knew what the teacher was looking for when he asked if there was anything "odd" about the day--which was September 9th.

I raised my hand and said, "It's a square day--9-9-81," for of course this was back in 1981, when we had to know things like squares and square roots, and I had discussed the date thing with my Dad that morning. And, of course, in this way I endeared myself to my classmates, too.

So it isn't just me who notices stuff like that, right? Right?
