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 will never happen again. 

As the clock ticks over from 8.01pm on Wednesday, February 20, 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 ever 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, isn't it?
