11:24 a.m. - Feb. 14, 2002
A magical moment in time
Believe it or not but 8.02pm on February 20 this year will be a historic

moment in time. It will not be marked by the chiming of any clocks or the

ringing of bells, but at that precise time, on that specific date, something

will happen which has not occurred for 1,001 years, and it will never happen

again.

As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday, February 20, 2002 time

will, for sixty seconds only, read in perfect symmetry:

2002, 2002, 2002, or to be more precise - 20:02, 20/02, 2002.

This historic event will never have the same poignancy as the 11th hour of

the 11th day of the 11th month, which marks Armistice Day, but it is an

event which has only happened once before, and is something which will never

be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern

was long before the days of the digital watch and the 24-hour clock - at

10.01am on January 10, 1001. And because the clock only goes up to 23.59, it

is something that will never happen again!

(Interesting to add is that I have been "glancing up at the clock"

periodically throughout the day only to notice that the time is 11:11 or

2:22 or 3:33 or 4:44 - this has been happening since August of last year.

So, I'm wondering what significance this moment in time will hold)
