Think about it:
On Wednesday of next week,
at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00
in the morning,
the time and date will be
</B>
01:02:03 04/05/06.
That won't ever happen again!

| If you think in military time, 01-02-03 04-04-06 happened at 0102 hrs and 03 seconds or, 0102:03.
Using that thinking, the 'event' occured at 0100hrs since that would include all of the needed zeros.
You non military types would think of it as 1:02 minutes, 2 seconds AM or PM. I like the 24 hr clock much better.
I'm leaving now, my head hurts. | |

In reference to the time/date anomaly, it will reoccur every 1000 years... Look forward to the next event... | |

Hey SK...you want some REAL fun....try playing with military time (the 24 hour clock) THEN add in the ZULU time. Makes for some real fun! Best way to explain Zulu time (if you don't know it) is that Greenwich England is Zulu (zero) time..... you are either plus or minus that time for actual time. SOOOO when I was in Germany, Zulu was +2 hours, Las Vegas would be -8 hours.... what this means is that when you talk about 1400 zulu, it is the EXACT same time as me (when I was in Germany or where ever else). Local time was either -/+ so in germany I was saying 1400 zulu and local time was 1600. YOU would say (in Las Vegas) 1400 zulu and it would be actually 0600 local time....make sense??!! it does with the air evauation world when moving patients around the world and having to give "scheduled meds"....when everything is time zulu, does not matter when last dose was given, is still the same schedule! Good luck!  | |
