Tomorrow morning will see a rare number alignment:

Hour: 01
Minute: 02
Second: 03
Month: 04
Day: 05
Year: 06

I'm not sure who or why such things are tracked, but they were making a big deal about this on tv this morning. You will have to wait another thousand years for the next alignment. Whoop-de-doo!

And it happens again a couple hours later --

Second: 01
Minute: 02
Hour: 03
Month: 04
Day: 05
Year: 06

And in between -

Minute: 01
Hour: 02
Second: 03
Month: 04
Day: 05
Year: 06

And in between again -

Second: 01
Hour: 02
Minute: 03
Month: 04
Day: 05
Year: 06

But I'm looking forward to next month, when it lines up in ascending order of duration of unit --

Second: 01
Minute: 02
Hour: 03
Day: 04
Month: 05
Year: 06

Better get the pots and pans and head out into the yard and start banging them.

(And yes, I know I left a couple out.)

Do newscasters learn math anymore? This same phenomenon will occur on April 5th, 2106. And every century after that.

What gets me is - who would care about such things? It is so pointless. You can line things up in any way you like and call them the names you choose, having chosen nothing.

Isn't counting to 6 enough?

...and why number, smaller, smaller, bigger, smaller, bigger

Slow news day?

There are four letters in the title to Dune, the same number as the month of April, which happens to be this month.
The name Paul Atreides anagrams to "A LEADER SIT UP"
meaning a great leader will come forth this month or in December, as there are twelve letters in Paul Atreides.

See it's easy!
djm, you've been indoors too long buddy!

Desdemon is what Othello calls her, sometimes. It's a diminutive, you know? That's the actual quote, I promise.

Othello, 5.2.24

He says this to her before he kills her.

Yikes, where are my manners! Of course you use the diminutive before killing someone.

Hehe, I figured you had it right. I was just curious.

APRIL 12345

Anyway, next month we'll see the date 06/06/06 which will probably be a Revelation to some.

What's revelatory about the sixth of June MMVI?

I'm pretty sure he meant that April = the 4th month ...

I love Othello. And the film version with Lawrence Fishburne as Othello is pretty good.

Oh, but to be on topic, yeah....what he said.
